Includes recipes for: Gorgonzola, Young Gruyere, Pepper-Jack, Parmesan, Macadamia Asiago, Paneer, Cotija, Cream Cheese, Amaretto Coffee Creamer, Sweetened Condensed Oat Milk, No-Whey! Protein Powder, along with dishes to use these fabulous basics, such as Baked Truffle Mac, New York Style Spelt Bagels with Roasted Garlic Cream Cheese, Breakfast Pizza Pockets with Hollandaise, Mini Quiches, Air-Fried Ricotta Balls with Ratatouille Sauce and more.
