"ones made with nuts do not melt"

[edit]

From the page:

> Food scientists use a "blend of gums, protein, solids, and fats" to create the mouthfeel and melt of dairy cheese [30] since the ones made with nuts do not melt due to the solid base on which they are composed. [28]

The wording here is confusing, "ones made with nuts"?, "solid base"?, and if we look for a direct quote in the book we find:

> While nuts make great cheeses, those cheeses don’t melt because the base is a solid substancethat cannot get any softer. In order to make cheeses that melt, I took a cue from dairy cheeses and experimented with using nondairy yogurt as the base, because it’s more liquid, and then adding oil.

Reading the book further you discover the author's recipe for nondairy yogurt contains both whole raw cashews and your choice of soy milk or almond milk. Maybe just remove this part of the sentence. Or explain that it's specifically about using too much nut paste. - AnnanFay (talk) AnnanFay (talk) 23:23, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
