For most people seriously considering going vegan, a cheese-less life is a huge barrier. John Schlimm's recipes offer plant-based cheeses and cheesy dishes with all the richness of dairy cheese but none of the animal products.

Starting with a base of homemade vegan cheese recipes, the dishes run the gamut from Homemade Vegan Cheddar and Parmesan Cheeses to Chedda-Pepper Pasta to Jalapeno Poppers with Tomato-Chipotle Sauce--with a whole section dedicated to mac-n-cheese-letting readers now bring the ooey-gooey excitement of cheese, with a compassionate twist, into their homes anytime they want.
