Can you make any recommendations for replacement of dairy products? Personally i found that dairy stuff (cheese especially) is the one thing that seems to not have any acceptable plant based replacement (IMHO)

Most other vegan alternatives aren't good, but they are toleratable. The vegan cheeses i tried so far however were absolutely atrocious.

I don't like vegan cheeses from supermarket much. And there are no artisanal vegan cheese producers in my area - maybe you'll be more lucky.

So I've been making my own. Better quality, better price, better taste compared to the supermarket stuff.

Cheese [https://thehiddenveggies.com/how-to-make-vegan-cheese-provol... - from coconut milk], yoghurt [https://www.spoonfulofkindness.com/how-to-make-vegan-yogurt/ - soya, cashew, almonds, coconut, oats, chickpea], and butter [https://veganheaven.org/recipe/vegan-butter/, https://lovingitvegan.com/homemade-vegan-butter/ - with olive oil, not canola].

I have eat vegan for years at a time. You're 100% right about cheese. There is nothing like dairy. But when I'm well nourished on a vegan diet I get over the desire pretty fast. I should probably go back to plants. It was so good for me.
