In partnership with Peter’s Yard petersyard.com - This week A Slice of Cheese explores the rise of vegan cheese. We talk to Rachel Steven’s, co-founder of La Fauxmagerie, Britain’s first specialist vegan cheesemonger and Mirko Parmigiani of Palace Culture tells us how he started making vegan cheeses. Vegan food writer Katy Beskow, author of Easy Vegan Christmas, shares ideas for how to cook with vegan cheese and Adam Williams of Tyne Chease, tells us the story of this pioneering Northumbrian vegan cheese company. With their delightfully crunchy texture, Peter’s Yard sourdough crackers go very well with cheese. The crackers come in a lovely range of flavours, so you can have fun experimenting with matching them to different cheeses. The stylish black-coloured, rye and charcoal sourdough crackers are very good with soft cheeses. A vegan cheese like Palace Culture’s Kimcheeze peppercorn crackers with its scarlet chilli flake coating would look very striking indeed. For further suggestions, have a look at the cheese pairing wheel on the Peter’s Yard website. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
