I have been wanting to make shortbread for ages and since I have been making my own vegan butter I haven't bothered.. mostly due to my failed attempt at crispy chocolate chip cookies... they were soft not crispy. I am off to make some of the special vegan butter! Thanks sooooooooooo much for all the digging you do for us mere mortals :).

Once again, thanks so much for all the info. It is a great help :). I especially appreciate the info on how to make the clear gel - the proportions to use and the hints for success.

I live in South Africa so can't get Daiya (apart from when I am on vacation in the US!), I really don't like Daiya - I agree with the greasiness and sludge like texture (no I don't eat much in the way of sludge).

I REALLY love the Cheesley Red Cheddar - but please don't rate it for melting. Cheesley tells you the varieties that melt and the ones that don't. The cheddars don't melt. The edam and the mozzarella do melt. Please try the red cheddar - slice of tomato... cheese and tomato sandwich! I am in heaven :).
