Serving Raw Cashew Cheese

It’s now easier than ever to make your own non-dairy raw nut cheese to satisfy that cheese craving. Whenever I make one of these cheeses it’s usually gone within hours.

But rather than just eat it all on its own there’s some really nice additions to the cheese that can be served with it that make the most of the flavour and texture.

Some of these additions bring sweetness to the acidity of the cheese – a perfect balance. Others are there for texture.

In this video I’ll show you what to plate with the cheese and, of course, hwo to make it look great, should you want to serve to friends and family.

My homestudy course shows exactly how to make raw nut cheeses click here for details of the course.

Enjoy the video and be sure to leave me a comment, and ‘retweet’ on Twitter or ‘Share’ on Facebook if you think your friends would like to see this too.

 

 

In my Raw Chef Homestudy Course below there’s a whole module devoted to making raw cheeses. Check it out by clicking below.

    Russell, that was such a timely video! I'm doing my first Raw Food Tasting event on Wednesday and you gave me a great idea on how to serve my raw Feta cheeze. Thank you! :-)

  • Nickilee

    Russell. is the recipe for the aged cashew cheese only avialable in your home study course, can we purchase your course as an ebook. as I live Australia and shipping is very exspenive.

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    Hi Nickilee,

    I don't have the recipe in an eBook as yet, but perhaps I'll do a nut cheese eBook :)

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    Good luck with it :)

  • http://girlonraw.com/ GirlonRaw

    Nice one Russell. Very timely indeed. I have been trying to make the nut cheese as yummy as I did at 105degrees but still am yet to perfect it. I am suspecting it is because of the probiotics I have. Hmmm back to the kitchen for me :)

  • Emoen

    The Home Study course is just brilliant. I am in Sydney Aus, Someone is asking how to buy without too much postage. I paid end of last year. My questiont is how do you grow your wheat grass that I can see in the DVDs.? I heard Viktoras Kulvinskas say he grows
    his in salt. Soil too messy in kitchen. Thank you a million times over Russell for your
    generous supply of recipes.

  • Blaine

    Please do a raw cheese eBook!! ;)
    Love the video.

  • Desri

    Please do a cheese book! Having so many raw books I just don't need all of the course. The cheese book and a bread/cracker book would be great.
    I have your others and they are so good, just do it!

  • Claudia

    Yes, a good raw nut chees book would be great!

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    OK, way too many emails and comments asking for cheese eBook to ignore :)

    Coming to http://www.therawchef.com very soon: The Raw Chef's Recipes Series, Nut Cheese

    Will announce on my blog and in my eZine when it's ready.

    I'm excited about this one.

  • Natastrophe

  • Leonie Hildreth

    Hello James, The date paste is a nice idea as another sweetener,thanks.Plating the cheese too looks pretty with the pesto and everything. But I like the great cheese recepe to make it myself with the crust .Where is the recepe please??

  • Nickilee22

    Hey Russell,Is the nut cheese ebook far away?

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    Working on it right now, I'm hoping in the next 2 weeks.

  • Jadednoise

    That cashew cheese looks beautiful…

  • IsleDance

    What a beautiful thing! :o)

    Hi, I just purchased Russell's Cheese E-book. Does anyone have any suggestions on what “probiotics” to use? Are they all the same? I have some GI-ProStart for making yogurt.

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    New Chapter do a good probiotic. If you can only get the ones in capsules you can simply pull them apart to the amount you need.

  • http://vegandietguy.com tokyovegan

    Thanks, Russell.
    I guess that means my yogurt starter would not be appropriate?
    William

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    I've just looked at yoghurt starter online and it looks like it would work as it's just a selection of probiotics.

    If it's important to you that it's not dairy-based be sure to check that. Some probiotics are.

  • Francoise

    I did the caraway, fennel cheese. The taste seems good. I put it in the fridge and try to stay away from it but in your video “serving raw cashew cheese” the cheese seems to have a kind of crust. Mine looks like Boursin. Do I need to put it in the dehydrator for a while? Thanks. Francoise

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    Did you make it with cashew or macadamia?

  • Francoise

    I followed the recipe Caraway, fennel….and the recipe said 2 cups of macadamias.
    Is it better to do it with cashew ? Why do you choose to do this one with macadamia? I am a pain in the neck but I try to understand the nuances !
    Thanks. Francoise

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    :)

    The macadamia will be firmer sooner but will only get to a certain point of firmness due to the macadamia's fluffiness.

    The cashew versions will take longer to firm up in the fridge but will keep getting firm over the course of the days and weeks, ending up with a more sliceable cheese.

    The longest I've left the cashew cheese in the fridge is 6 weeks and it was good.

    Just following all of this.  I have been making leaps into raw food for some time now… & your recipes are fantastic.  But on doing research on Alkaline diets, I find that is where the health benefit comes from when eating greens etc., so my question is- 

    So many raw foods are made with cashews, and as I understand it they are a no no due to extreme fungus and yeast present and they are highly acidic.. So where does an avid vegan, raw foodist take that?

    PS I think it’s awesome that you put out your recipes like you do for sliding scale- I know for us we have been on stint of unemployment and every dime saved & health gained is critical.. Thank you so much for helping those less fortunate than even we are at this time. 

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James

    Day to day I eat a huge amount of greens and actually don’t eat a lot of nuts.  Some of the recipes I like to share are really to showcase what can be done.

    You can also substitute cashews for macadamias which are less acidic.

    Awesome as always Russell :)
