green ghost gave me this recipe tip for when you freeze and thaw and drain and refreeze tofu to "freeze dry" it..
Mix drained (but not pressed) firm tofu with a cheesy nutritional yeast and Flavacol until the tofu is a little saltier and cheesier than Parmesan. Reform the tofu into a rough slab and use the freeze/thaw trick on the mixture. Daily press the liquid from the thawed tofu, crumble it and then reform it and refreeze. After a few cycles you can grate it for a vegan Parmesan substitute.

Flavacol is an accidentally vegan butter flavored salt. It's the same stuff the movie theaters use on their popcorn! It's really strong when sprinkled on foods but when you cook with it the flavor mellows and leaves a hint of butter that's normally hard to obtain from other sources. In that particular recipe using the Flavacol masks the yeastiness and accentuates the cheese taste. Here's a link to the people that I get mine from; be aware they do have a minimum order. I normally buy 12 quarts of it along with the white popcorn and a jug of Pops-It (and whatever else grabs my eye
Flavacol only comes in the one flavor but they do sell other flavorings. You'd have to call them to confirm ingredients though. I do that anyway before ordering and I also check with Gold Medal to make sure they're still using non-animal sourced ingredients in Flavacol. There is a version without any colorants if that concerns you.
When I make popcorn ( a frequent occurrence) I use extra virgin coconut oil instead of the hydrogenated ones. The coconut aroma of EVCO disappears when you heat it so it doesn't change the final taste of the popcorn.

You can also ask your local movie theater to sell you a cup of Flavacol

An Internet search lead me to some other non-traditional flavorings for popcorn that perhaps I’ll try someday if I can find a retailer that stocks them at a reasonable price. The store where I bought the above-pictured product sold only this one type of flavored salt on the popcorn aisle. After making a batch of popcorn and sprinkling some Flavocol on as a final step, then tasting it, I believe it’s likely one secret of movie theatres’ popcorn! It seems to need less butter for a butter flavor when using Flavocol: ‘artificial butter flavoring’ and ‘real butter’ don’t have quite the same flavor.
I also learned from the Internet search that it’s not much of a secret anymore. Hydrogenated coconut oil is typically used to pop the kernals, and there’s an artificial-butter-flavored topping available that is composed largely of hydrogenated soybean oil, both of which include beta-carotene for coloring according to their respective ingredient labels.
