the Redwood

Just the other day I happened across a post talking about Heather Mills' vegan product line called the Redwood and thought I'd need to go on a search to find it... and a few days later I stumbled across it in my fave Interspar store as part of new supply - brand new on shelves!

I was most intrigued by yogurts that are not based on soy beans, but peas. But besides that, I also chose to give fake cheese another go and to try falafel as well.

I have bad experiences with fake cheese. I tried Sheese once and after a bite threw it all away and swore never again! But then I found Redwood's Cheezly and before I knew it I had a Mozzarela style (I chose this because it read "super melting") in my shopping cart.

I haven't tried the Wot, no dairy? pea-based yogurt yet, but I have successfully eliminated the falafel bites for a lunch with my partner (he approved and gave permission to buy it again! which surely tells a lot!):

And I tried Cheezly many times now: by itself (ok), melting it in a risotto (great) and topping a pizza:

Which surprisingly turned out great, given my experiences with fake cheese, and it even melted ok, though not exactly like mozzarella. The Cheezly gave the pizza a slightly sour taste, which turned out to complement the pizza great!

When the pizza was done, the cheezly was all soft, so I just spread it out a bit with a knife.

All in all, I'm satisfied with the products (still need to try the yogurt) and, as far as falafel and cheezy go, I will surely buy it again!
