Just made this and waiting for it to cool down! It tasted delicious (when it was still in the pan), but a little bit too garlicy for my likings, so I added a bit of nutmeg to soften the taste and holy moly, it tasted super cheesy! I also added nutritional yeast for a more cheesy flavour!
I made this and doubled the recipe yesterday. I forgot to double the amount of agar so it didn't set, but lemons from lemonade, it is the perfect flavor and consistency for alfredo sauce. No miso paste. So I used some for pasta, and the rest I put back in a pot, heated again with the remaining agar. It is now in the fridge and hopefully this time it sets up.
I did this recipe today, and it was great!!! I may have neglected it on salt because I wanted it to be low on sodium, however after I eat this batch I will definitely try it a second time with proper seasoning. Loved it, really easy too make. Hands down it is the best recipe for almond cheese out there.
I made my first vegan cheese yesterday -- WOW! I made a garlic and herb cheese, similar to this recipe. I didn't think to roll it in herbs, though. I'm going to try that today! Thank you for this recipe. I've been vegan since 2008 (vegetarian since 1990), and I never thought of making vegan cheese. Funny, because I used to make cow and goat milk cheeses before becoming vegan. This is so much easier -- on me and on the animals!
Ms. Anya I love your enthusiasm and joy that you show whenever you try out your foods (especially cheese)! Your expertise has definitely helped this recently new vegetarian! God bless and keep showing us how easy it is to eat a plant based diet.
I made this recipe today this is the second time making it, and boy O boy it’s Delicious and amazingly soft texture….. I love it so much….thank you so for sharing it with the world!!!!
I finally got around to making this! It's setting up in the fridge, but I snuck a little bit and it was amazing! I added a little paprika into the blender for some color, and used cashews. Delicious!
I made this recipe today, and OMGOSH!!! Delicious! Amazing soft texture not rubbery at all! and having tried someone else’s cheese that had agar in it , I found their recipe horrible, the texture was so rubbery and gross, the flavor was amazing-but the texture killed the whole thing, I was hesitant to try agar again. But I am glad I did, and I can’t wait try your other cheese recipe. I found that my cheese didn’t turn out as hard as yours looked, so I will add a little bit more agar next time. Yes, my hand is sore from all the stirring but it was so worth it... my four year old cannot keep her hands off of it.... bless you Anja. Thank you for this recipe, it will impress my vegan mother a lot I think.
Definitely going to try this! I love what you said in the end : that you have to eat it before anyone else finds out That's my house too. I rarely get more than one serving of anything in our house 🤗
Amazing! It must be the agar agar. Possibly a very underutilized ingredient in food processing at home. I checked out the list of videos on your channel and was struck by your fantastic thumbnail pictures you have on them. I must confess, I've been a bit turned off by vegan food in my past but looking at the pictures of your food has me seeing it with new eyes. Pretty remarkable I must say. So I subscribed.
Made this recipe the other day. It turned out beautifully. I shared this at the office with a few open minded coworker. They all loved it. I will definately make this again. Thank you for sharing.
I have been eyeing this recipe for weeks now and boy! It is out of this world good!!! I licked the pan clean with some tortilla chips while the cheese settled in the fridge. I'm done looking for other cheeses! I have given nutritional yeast a chance, but this is way better! Love it!
Thank you so much for this simple easy recipe!!! I've been vegan for a year now and cheese was my biggest challenge to give up and it's still my biggest craving. I thought and had found really complicate recipes involving having a yogurt maker and vegan probiotics and a cheese cloth and waiting for ages and ages to just get a little bit of cheese. Your recipe seems easy and straight forward and I get to eat the cheese within an hour or two. Can't wait to try this. Thanks again!!
You have the best videos! With an easily adaptable recipe like this there is simply NO need to pay high dollars for similar in the markets! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for this video and all your other videos you are an awesome vegan. you have helped me a lot with my Vegan cooking... I love your intro song am always singing it lol I sing it to my dog to he loves it thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
I made this last night to serve to at a family gathering today. It was very easy to make, and very delicious. The flavor was even better this morning. Thank you for this recipe!
I did not know about miso making things cheesy (just reading the comments, but watched a more recent cheese vid that used miso)! That's fantastic. I'm slowly working my way through your whole video range. I love that they're to the point videos that don't show boring footage of the entire cooking process, the recipes are really interesting and use ingredients I can easily obtain and you seem like such a nice person! It's like a cooking class with a friend :)
CookingWithPlants My wife found out the hard way that she didn't react to well to almonds. My oldest son is a vegan and It's expensive for his lifestyle. At least he helps with our garden.
@@shawndarling5855 expensive? since when are beans, lentils, bread, pasta, rice and seasonal fruits and veggies expensive? there is a lot that can be done at home like vegan cheese or saitan... all the best
Alright I just made this recipe and Anya, (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) you are the BOSS. Food genius. I've been vegan for a year and like every human on this planet, I loved cheese, so this rocks.
Your recipes are my favorite. I started being vegan 2 years ago with your videos, they helped me to convert my vegetarian diet to vegan. I am still vegan and I am so happy that I did this conversion work with your recipes, they are all so delicious ! Thank you Anja ..
Ooo that looked so delicious as you pour the hot mixture into the spring form pans. Also, using a spring form pan is genius! I want to find some little ones like yours too. :-)
Mary's Test Kitchen | Vegan Cooking If there is an Aldi's in your area, they have octagon and round spring form pans on sale this week for $6.99 each. I am going to pick up several this afternoon.
So I made it two hours ago and it taste exactly like the bechamel for lasagne I'm making ( I always put garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage, black pepper and parmesan in it) so I can make delicious lasagne for myself now 😁 I threw out all non sticking pans, because that's what is bad for your health and we have already lot of microplastics in our systems from drinking water so I did it in a stainless steel pan and it worked well on a low heat. Thank you for this discovery.
Anya I just made this and it is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! I made your mayonnaise too and it was incredible!! Thank you for all your amazing and easy recipes!! They are fantastic! I'm a fellow Aussie living in Brisbane :) Which city are you in?
You did it again! Another recipe for me to try. So glad I found your channel. The best vegan one I've found on TH-cam. Real recipes that I want to cook that's not at all preachy. I also love how you don't pretend to be some sort of nutritionist like so many other channels where the presenters aren't even qualified. Sick of it on YT. Not pushing the raw agenda either. You are a breath of fresh air to my vegan channel hopping. Keep those recipes coming. Loving you in the UK - 🙌🏼
so, I tried "this" recipe, I used cashew and pecans instead of almonds and I didn't put as much garlic. it tastes rather nice, very "herby", but not watery like I've read in the comments (maybe because pecans have a stronger, "drier" taste than almond...). plus that recipe raised questions from my mother asking me why I'm vegan. (it's rather recent and I didn't talk much about it to her, she's not easy to talk to about such things and I don't explain things very well when I talk... I can hardly explain a movie to someone ^^) I wrote her a 5 pages text explaining in details why I'm vegan... I didn't show her yet. I wonder what her reaction will be...
+Lel Natmee Glad you tried the recipe and that you are on your vegan path :-) I argued for about a year with my family and just kept making them awesome food and kept educating them. Some great resources are The China Study book, watch Cowspiracy and Forks over Knives, as well as www.nutritionfacts.org Stay strong in your beliefs x
CookingWithPlants that's great to hear :) my mum read it and said she already new all the fact that made me go vegan, still she said she likes meat and cheese to much to cut them out of her diet. to my surprise, the thing she was most preocuppied, about me going vegan, is that I would not eat delicious food anymore. she told me that she'd be releaved when I cook a delicious vegan meal. haha I'll cook an aubergine parmigiana using your recipe of cheese and the vegan corner's parmigiana recipe. ^^
New subbie here. I’m not vegan, not even vegetarian but I am a foodie and this has delicious written all over it. Looking forward to perusing your other culinary delights!
I made this cheese and it set up so great even before I popped it into the fridge! It smells heavenly…haven’t tasted it yet but as soon as it is cold, I have mixed together pecan pieces, herbs and vegan Parmesan cheese to roll it in. Can’t wait!
I finally made it right! I saw in some of your posts to increase the agar agar flakes by 4 to 5 times. I had not done that the first time since the flakes were all I could find. This was perfect and I gave it a generous dusting of nutritional yeast. It was great!
I can't wait to make this cheese! It looks super easy and if I can find a way to make my own cheese that will help me save money because as you know vegan cheese is expensive! I do have a question... can anyone tell me how long this cheese lasts in the fridge? Namaste
I am definitely going to have to try this! My boyfriends mom makes this cheese ball that is always a HUGE hit at the holidays, but it contains animal products :'( So I am going to make this and bring it so I can have some "cheese" too! :D Thanks!
+Lel Natmee You do realize that you only need the agar to firm it up? The medium itself doesn't need agar, you can use it as a liquid. The nutrients and the nice smell derive from the peptone. Pro tip: DO NOT INHALE PEPTONE POWDER. Recipe looks good though, I'll try it and add some nutritional yeast!
The only reason that bacteria can grow on agar is because it is LB agar, and the LB broth used to make the agar is what allows the bacteria to thrive during incubation. In this case, there's no LB broth being used (obviously) and it's not like you're streaking the cheese with bacteria lol.
Made it today - and.. I dont know, maybe I did not ad enough agar agar?? It did not harden. I ended up with a delicious garlic herb spread instead. Ow, and i added som nutritional yeast in to the mixture.
hi, I turned into vegan last week and I am soooo happy with your channel it is very helpful indeed! but I have a quastion plz, I can't find the ager ager powder any where, what can I use instead of it?
I also had a problem with finding agar powder when I became vegan, but then i found that you can order it from the internet for an afordoble price, just order it don't be afraid agar powder is à big part of being vegan.
@@mkaizn Well, this is the first time I have watched this video, and the question may be relevant to other people who are new to it. Why do you feel so strongly about answering old questions that you had to comment? Is it an obsession with you?
Simba this isn't cheese, and the world does not need to eat vegan, you can keep your cultish mock epicurean crap to yourselves. No we just need less people who are ignorant.
+ilovesparky13, I'm not vegan. I will never be, nor want to be. It's healthier to be vegetarian. If I am giving vegans a bad name, then mission accomplished.
Josh Howson Just keep educating her and lead by example :-) www.nutritionfacts.org is a fantastic website run by a plant based doctor that does lots of research and summarizes all the latest studies relating to plant foods. A great resource to have and a great way to get educated.
Josh Howson get your mum to watch Gary Yourofsky's best speech ever. I am an old mum and had been struggling with guilt feelings for years but Always found excuses as to why we had to eat meat, dairy and eggs. Then one day I decided I was going to give it a serious go, so I went on youtube looking for tips to help me go vegan. Then I stumbled on the video of Gary and for some reason I watched it. I have been vegan since the moment I finished watching the speech. After that I had to tell my kids we were going vegan as of that day the very first upcoming meal. They whinged but I didn't budge and now we are all happy vegans. One idea if she is reluctant is to ask her to watch it as a birthday gift to you instead of her buying you something. Gary's speech has changed so many peoples mind and life, it is definately worth trying if you want your mum going vegan. Assuming she has a heart which she probably does for having such a nice kid as you are. :-)
I am making a usb with pictures of my son for her and was planning to put it on that too. Along with some of bite size vegan vids. Especially the horse related ones. Thankyou for your comment and kind words. She and I are not on the best of terms at the moment. But we are getting better with time. She can be very uncaring sometimes, without really knowing. She is getting better though. I just want her in my son's life more. But she love 7 hours away making it hard. Makes it hard to duel it out with her face to face too. Don't know why I am telling u this, lol. Are u Aussie? Or is your name to do with Ozzy Osborne ?
I can never respond to comments or even click the thumbs up - so I'm leaving a new comment to thank you for answering my question about the container n whether it will stick! Can't wait to try this! Thank you
Please watch out for all that toxic plastic. I have my blendtec sitting in the closet until they come out with a ss container or a glass container. It's already been determined that the bpa containers from tritan do leach toxins into our food and it's probably worse if you're pouring hot liquid into that plastic container. Also, the same concern should go with your non stick. I searched and searched until i found a ceramic coated line that I like. The plastic coating in that pan is not healthy for your family at all. We vegans need to live long, healthy lives so I hope you will seek out replacements for the products you were using today.
paulsonjeff What kind of bag? Just so you understand what I'm saying requires further reading on your part, here's a quickie article to bring you up to speed. www.eco-novice.com/2015/03/eat-less-plastic-33-ways-to-keep.html
I am not a fan of putting hot liquid in my Blendtec. I am going to try this but without the hot water just room temp. also I am soaking my almonds and cashews first. I got rid of all Tephlon cooking and stick with stainless steel or cast iron.
Hi: I Lovely! Just want to say I made this cheese also. 1st batch got loose, my own fault as I preground the almonds and think my agar was too little. I did reduce the herbs and salt, (just my preference)and used plain almond milk with just a little dried basil and sage. My result is a mozarella-like cheese that I like. I like to make that tomato-mozarella-basil salad and this will be beautiful! Thanks again. Love it, don't feel guilty about sneaking cheese now, as I was also concerned about the dairy protein and my heart. ; )
your mini springpan forms are beyond adorable!! 😀 ...love the way you rolled the wheels in spices--they looked do professional! thanks so much for this recipe!! 😀
I am so happy I found your channel! I'm trying to make the change to a vegan lifestyle and your recipes make it so much easier and fun for me. I have things to look forward to making. I'm so excited to try making this cheese! 😊
Amazing recipe again Ania! I made it yesterday and I was amazed by it. Best "cheese" recipe I've made so far, and I've tried a lot of them! THANK YOU so much for your talent :) Love from Spain
all these recipes. I think I get the basics of the cheese making now with the agar agar powder. Thanks alot. I just got my package in the mail. Gonna make a cheese tomorrow.
I followed this recipe to the letter. I cooked and cooked, stirred and stirred. I thought I had it where it was supposed to be and poured it into molds and fridged it. It came out very soft and spreadable. Not bad but it did not turn out in a hard cheese as yours had. I was so disappointed. This morning I took it out of the fridge and decided I had nothing to lose by trying to cook it even further. Again, I cooked and cooked. It did indeed reduce quite a bit and I think I had it to where it really should be and decided to mold and refrigerator again. Now I have a firmer cheese--sort of like cream cheese -- again no where near it can be sliced. Any suggestions or thoughts as to why I cannot get this cheese to harden? The taste is wonderful. Thanks for all your recipes and the time and energy you put into your channel. It is appreciated!
+Jill 4 Today Did you convert the measurements to imperial? Did you use agar powder or flakes. If using the flake you need to use about 3 to 4 times the amount you would use in powder format. Also, the agar needs to cook long enough for it to activate.
Hi Anya -- this info helps. I am in the US and was going by the cup and teaspoon measurements. Is this incorrect? I am not sure what you mean by Imperial. Second -- good to know about the agar agar. Mine IS flakes. So using more should definitely make a difference. I will try it again with your suggestions. The flavor is very very good. Happy New Year. PS -- if you could advise me about conversion etc., that would be helpful. --Jill
I am SO EXCITED to try this. I don't live near any health food stores, so the agar and tapioca I need to order online. Will follow up when I make it. :) Thank you for the simple and delicious looking recipe!
definitely going to try this!! i made your vegan ground beef, holy yum!! my vegetarian daughter loved it, but my son just couldnt get past the cauliflower part. oh well!! i have like 90% of these ingredients cant wait to try it!!
Just made this and waiting for it to cool down! It tasted delicious (when it was still in the pan), but a little bit too garlicy for my likings, so I added a bit of nutmeg to soften the taste and holy moly, it tasted super cheesy! I also added nutritional yeast for a more cheesy flavour!

I tried this recipe with Italian seasoning for a herb mix and I must say it tasted good thank you for posting the video recipe
tabby A Glad you like it :-)
Can you use almond meal flour instead of almonds? Thank you so much for the recipe!!!
i was wondering the same thing, did you try it??
@@ceelyn Lol I didn't! Omg this comment is from 5 years ago!!! Time flies🤣
I love the edge of the cheese that you decorated! Beautiful!
I am definitely going to have to try this! My boyfriends mom makes this cheese ball that is always a HUGE hit at the holidays, but it contains animal products :'( So I am going to make this and bring it so I can have some "cheese" too! :D Thanks!
Erin Ellis Glad you like it and will have something to take along that is plant based :-)
wow I want to try this! Can't believe the texture!
Rhiannon Smith It's so tasty!!!
What kind of non stick pan do you use? I'm not sure what kind to buy that is a good non stick but also environmentally friendly and not poisonous

Wow, it's so easy to make! Can't wait to try it.
Hope you like it!
It's hard for me to use agar agar because I use it in biology lab every day in the petri dishes. All I can think of is all the bacteria I grew on it.
+Mallory yeah, that puts me off too... when I think agar agar, I think of the nutrients for the bacteria and bacteria... not a nice smell =S
+Mallory it's all better than gelatin because it's dead pig's skin and bone... Better use agar agar which is a sort of alga after all.
+Lel Natmee You do realize that you only need the agar to firm it up? The medium itself doesn't need agar, you can use it as a liquid. The nutrients and the nice smell derive from the peptone.
Pro tip: DO NOT INHALE PEPTONE POWDER.
Recipe looks good though, I'll try it and add some nutritional yeast!
The only reason that bacteria can grow on agar is because it is LB agar, and the LB broth used to make the agar is what allows the bacteria to thrive during incubation. In this case, there's no LB broth being used (obviously) and it's not like you're streaking the cheese with bacteria lol.
Mallory yeah, and if you don't use the agar agar, still cook it so that the tapioca starch activates and you will have a stretchy melt cheese sauce
You are making me hungry! So glad you like it so much. Making this today!
Can I use cornstarch instead of Tapioca?
Caroline K Yes
CookingWithPlants Can I use two percent low-fat milk.
Caroline K .
@@shawndarling5855
Milk? U can use the regular cheese and save yourself the trouble of making cheese
That made me so hungry... I have to try this out Tomorrow.
Made it today - and.. I dont know, maybe I did not ad enough agar agar?? It did not harden. I ended up with a delicious garlic herb spread instead. Ow, and i added som nutritional yeast in to the mixture.
Try more agar powder next time
hi, I turned into vegan last week and I am soooo happy with your channel it is very helpful indeed! but I have a quastion plz, I can't find the ager ager powder any where, what can I use instead of it?
I also had a problem with finding agar powder when I became vegan, but then i found that you can order it from the internet for an afordoble price, just order it don't be afraid agar powder is à big part of being vegan.
use gelatine from animals
@@mkaizn Firstly, that defeats the purpose. Secondly, it doesn't act the same way as agar. It melts to water when heated, but agar just melts gently.
@@xymonau2468 why did you reply to a comment that is 3 years old
@@mkaizn Well, this is the first time I have watched this video, and the question may be relevant to other people who are new to it. Why do you feel so strongly about answering old questions that you had to comment? Is it an obsession with you?
I made and gave them out with holiday treats! They were a hit!
+Debby Dong Fantastic!!
It's moments like this where I feel the world really does need to go vegan. Once this happens, humans will evolve further.
Simba?
It's people like you who give vegans a bad name.
Simba this isn't cheese, and the world does not need to eat vegan, you can keep your cultish mock epicurean crap to yourselves. No we just need less people who are ignorant.
+ilovesparky13, I'm not vegan. I will never be, nor want to be. It's healthier to be vegetarian. If I am giving vegans a bad name, then mission accomplished.
Simba why are you even vegetarian then? 😂
Came in skeptical, now Im drooling... excellent cheese fall.
OMG you're an Aussie. I hope you live in Oz too because that means all your ingredients can be found here.
Yep... on the Gold Coast :-)
All the ingredients are available pretty much everywhere
Wonderful presentation. Going to try this today.
I wish u were my mum.
Josh Howson Awww sweet :-) BTW my son's name is Josh!!
Meant to be. My mum is still a non vegan. :(
Your son is very lucky to have you.
Josh Howson Just keep educating her and lead by example :-) www.nutritionfacts.org is a fantastic website run by a plant based doctor that does lots of research and summarizes all the latest studies relating to plant foods. A great resource to have and a great way to get educated.
Josh Howson get your mum to watch Gary Yourofsky's best speech ever.
I am an old mum and had been struggling with guilt feelings for years but Always found excuses as to why we had to eat meat, dairy and eggs.
Then one day I decided I was going to give it a serious go, so I went on youtube looking for tips to help me go vegan.
Then I stumbled on the video of Gary and for some reason I watched it.
I have been vegan since the moment I finished watching the speech.
After that I had to tell my kids we were going vegan as of that day the very first upcoming meal.
They whinged but I didn't budge and now we are all happy vegans.
One idea if she is reluctant is to ask her to watch it as a birthday gift to you instead of her buying you something.
Gary's speech has changed so many peoples mind and life, it is definately worth trying if you want your mum going vegan.
Assuming she has a heart which she probably does for having such a nice kid as you are. :-)
I am making a usb with pictures of my son for her and was planning to put it on that too. Along with some of bite size vegan vids. Especially the horse related ones.
Thankyou for your comment and kind words.
She and I are not on the best of terms at the moment. But we are getting better with time. She can be very uncaring sometimes, without really knowing. She is getting better though. I just want her in my son's life more. But she love 7 hours away making it hard. Makes it hard to duel it out with her face to face too. Don't know why I am telling u this, lol. Are u Aussie? Or is your name to do with Ozzy Osborne ?
I can never respond to comments or even click the thumbs up - so I'm leaving a new comment to thank you for answering my question about the container n whether it will stick! Can't wait to try this! Thank you
Jelliebe Enjoy :-)
Please watch out for all that toxic plastic. I have my blendtec sitting in the closet until they come out with a ss container or a glass container. It's already been determined that the bpa containers from tritan do leach toxins into our food and it's probably worse if you're pouring hot liquid into that plastic container. Also, the same concern should go with your non stick. I searched and searched until i found a ceramic coated line that I like. The plastic coating in that pan is not healthy for your family at all. We vegans need to live long, healthy lives so I hope you will seek out replacements for the products you were using today.
My god, have you ever microwaved with plastic? Lol. Just waking up is bad for your health
paulsonjeff I guess you haven't read any of the articles about plastic, have you?
***** ain't nothing like a little fear mongering. What about foods that are sold in a bag?
paulsonjeff
What kind of bag?
Just so you understand what I'm saying requires further reading on your part, here's a quickie article to bring you up to speed.
www.eco-novice.com/2015/03/eat-less-plastic-33-ways-to-keep.html
I am not a fan of putting hot liquid in my Blendtec. I am going to try this but without the hot water just room temp. also I am soaking my almonds and cashews first. I got rid of all Tephlon cooking and stick with stainless steel or cast iron.
so glad you're on YT! Gotta try this too! thanks for this post!
+Aminada DNIEMBE Glad you like it :-)
I used arrowroot instead of tapioca. And it worked! Anya you are the talk of vegan town in the netherlands. 🌱😉
clasien Fantastic, so glad it worked for you and that you liked it :-) Vegan town sounds like an awesome place ;-)
Hi: I Lovely! Just want to say I made this cheese also. 1st batch got loose, my own fault as I preground the almonds and think my agar was too little. I did reduce the herbs and salt, (just my preference)and used plain almond milk with just a little dried basil and sage. My result is a mozarella-like cheese that I like. I like to make that tomato-mozarella-basil salad and this will be beautiful! Thanks again. Love it, don't feel guilty about sneaking cheese now, as I was also concerned about the dairy protein and my heart. ; )
+universallyinsync Glasd you like it :-)

Beautiful channel. Great cheese receipes. Keep it up bud
Thank you :-)
all these recipes. I think I get the basics of the cheese making now with the agar agar powder. Thanks alot. I just got my package in the mail. Gonna make a cheese tomorrow.
I followed this recipe to the letter. I cooked and cooked, stirred and stirred. I thought I had it where it was supposed to be and poured it into molds and fridged it. It came out very soft and spreadable. Not bad but it did not turn out in a hard cheese as yours had. I was so disappointed. This morning I took it out of the fridge and decided I had nothing to lose by trying to cook it even further. Again, I cooked and cooked. It did indeed reduce quite a bit and I think I had it to where it really should be and decided to mold and refrigerator again. Now I have a firmer cheese--sort of like cream cheese -- again no where near it can be sliced. Any suggestions or thoughts as to why I cannot get this cheese to harden? The taste is wonderful. Thanks for all your recipes and the time and energy you put into your channel. It is appreciated!
+Jill 4 Today Did you convert the measurements to imperial? Did you use agar powder or flakes. If using the flake you need to use about 3 to 4 times the amount you would use in powder format. Also, the agar needs to cook long enough for it to activate.
Hi Anya -- this info helps. I am in the US and was going by the cup and teaspoon measurements. Is this incorrect? I am not sure what you mean by Imperial. Second -- good to know about the agar agar. Mine IS flakes. So using more should definitely make a difference. I will try it again with your suggestions. The flavor is very very good. Happy New Year. PS -- if you could advise me about conversion etc., that would be helpful. --Jill
Stephanie Treasure The conversions are on the website. My cup holds 250ml, my tablespoon is 1 tbsp. + 1tsp imperial (total 20ml) :-)
I just got Agar powder from Amazon! I am going to attempt this recipe, so excited :D I love your channel xx
