Heading into the holiday cooking season, Miyoko's Creamery, known for its European Style Cultured Vegan Butter and vegan cheeses, is introducing the world's first vegan butter cooking channel. This channel will showcase how Miyoko's vegan butter melts, browns, bubbles, bakes and spreads just like animal dairy butter, according to the company.
Streaming on YouTube with chefs and experts like Nicole Rucker (Fat & Flour in LA) and Tara Punzone (Pura Vida), The Vegan Butter Channel by Miyoko's Creamery shares how-tos, cooking techniques, and recipes for dishes ranging from Buttery Vegan Tagliatelle Pasta in a Butternut Squash Cream Sauce with Crisped Sage to Vegan Butter Enriched Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls with Spiced Vegan Butter Cream Cheese Icing, and more.
"With The Vegan Butter Channel, people don't have to take my word for it - they can see vegan butter perform for themselves, and hopefully are inspired to cook some of these recipes - or variations - at home,” said Miyoko's Creamery founder and CEO Miyoko Schinner, in a statement. "I created our vegan butter because as a chef and cookbook author, butter is the foundation of so much of my cooking and baking, so it was important that any vegan butter I use tastes and performs up to the highest standards."
Miyoko's Creamery launches The Vegan Butter Channel on the heels of its recent landmark legal victory, where it fought for and won the right to use the word "butter" on the labeling of its European Style Cultured Vegan Butter. The lawsuit challenged the notion that dairy milk is the only way to make proper butter, with Miyoko's vegan butter serving as an example of high-performing, great-tasting butter made from plant milk, according to the company. Miyoko's European Style Cultured Vegan Butter combines age-old butter making techniques with plant-based ingredients.
The Vegan Butter Channel will air three series, including Making It Butter & Vegan (launching later this month featuring chefs creating butter-forward vegan dishes); The Vegan Butter Academy (a series designed to teach home chefs foundational and expert techniques for cooking with butter); and Phenomenally Vegan (featuring Miyoko Schinner with guests talking all things butter and cooking a recipe together).
