Originally designed for those who needed or wanted to eliminate dairy products but still enjoy their favorite dishes, this tenth anniversary edition offers completely new versions of the acclaimed, original recipes plus many new ones. You’ll discover a whole new world of flavorful, cheesy-tasting dishes without the cholesterol and dairy allergies that can be harmful to your health.
Vesanto Melina, coauthor of the American Dietetic Association’s “Position Paper on Vegetarian Nutrition,” brings you up-to-date on the latest research findings about dairy and health. Tables and charts show calcium, protein, and other nutrients in a variety of plant foods to help you safely replace dairy in your diet. And this new edition contains designations for each recipe to indicate whether it is gluten, soy, nut, yeast, and/or corn free for people who are sensitive to a wide range of food allergens.

June 24, 2004: I recently purchased this book, actually 2 copies, one for myself and one for a vegan friend and we are both just thrilled so far. Her first recipe to try was the Cheddar Cheeze sauce, which she served over baked potatoes stuffed with broccoli. An instant hit with her family. My first recipe from the book was the 'Crock Cheeze' which is reminiscint of the chees spread served in restaurants with the cracker basket. This recipe is a dead ringer and could easily fool non- vegan friends and family. I can hardly wait to try more! Also included in the book is a generous section on the problems with consuming dairy products as well as comprarison charts showing how plant based foods measure up to animal based calcium and protien foods. A great primer for a new vegan. I would recommend the book to anyone just starting out on the vegan lifestyle as well as to old hand who just want to add some new and delicious recipes to their collection.
