I noticed recently there are a couple of diary-free cheese recipe books up on amazon.co.uk. You could take a look inside the books (a feature on amazon) and get some ideas from a few recipes.

I look forward to hearing how it goes! I'm tempted to try making dairy-free cheese some time in the future.

I've had some luck with 'Artisan Vegan Cheese', but the recipes are definitely quite involved. Please do report back if you get good results with soya milk and lemon juice!

hi all made me cheese its been drying for 3 days now, the 3 lemons is to many next time i will lower to 1 and half, so as to reduce taste in cheese just tasted and unbelievably it starting to taste and smell like cheese, now i wanted it for pizza topping so today i got garlic salt and sprinkled all over it, normally i would just use salt every 3- 4days tonight its going on pizza......

Recipe i used
2 ltr soy milk red label (aldi 90c tesco1.80 )
1 1/2 lemon

squeeze lemon in cup top up with boiling water.
heat milk to when it starts bubbling turn off heat
tip 1/3 lemon from cup into milk stir cover leave 5 min
tip half of lemon into milk stir cover leave 5 min
tip rest of lemon mix in cover leave 30+ min till curds are formed
drain i use clean old t-shirt as dont have cheese cloth yet drain for hour then i placed curds in colander in t-shirt with weight on it (this was saucer with full piggy bank on it lol)
left out air drying for 2 days just with salt sprinkled over it .......
thats it for semi hard soy milk cheese

if u want soft cheese that easier and quicker
will get photo today
have fun and experiment ......... in all things in life
