CHEF LAB: He Can Make Almost Any Cheese from Cashews

One of the hardest things for a VEGAN to give up is cheese. The texture, the mouthfeel, the fermented flavors are hard to replicate in anything else. Most vegan cheese is chalky, and tasteless. Which is why, Chef Jay Astafa is considered a vegan superhero. Since he was 15, he's been working on recipes to innovate non-meat diets, particularly focusing on non-dairy based cheeses. Now at 23, he's an unstoppable force, making advancements in vegan nut cheese that, literally, brings people to tears. There is a nostalgia that happens when you eat his cheese. And Chef Jay Astafa won't stop until every vegan is satisfied.

CHEF LAB, from James Beard Award-winning producer-director-storyteller Liza de Guia (foodcurated.com), is a new digital documentary food series that covers where a chef's culture, influence and background meets the plate!
