"Whether you've made the switch to a vegan diet or are just considering the change, cheese can be the breaking point that keeps you from breaking up. It's everywhere-and let's face it, it's delicious. Thank goodness there's Bailey Ruskus, aka Chef Bai, to hold your hand and show you that creating dairy-free cheesy dishes isn't only doable, it is downright delectable. Chef Bai trained at Cordon Bleu, and classical French training means one thing-well, a few things: butter. Cream. Cheese. But after nearly twenty years of chronic pain and five years obsessively studying and becoming certified in plant-based nutrition, she did what she thought was impossible-she broke up with dairy. Just a few months later, her health had vastly improved and most of her symptoms had completely faded away. She set out to recreate her one true love, cheese, in a way that was satisfying, delicious, and free of fillers and additives. In Breaking Up With Dairy, Chef Bai shares more than 100 unbelievable recipes, from basics such your basic cheddar block and pourable mozz, milks, coffee creamers, and sauces, to gourmet-quality cheeses (including gruyere, gorgonzola, and a chevre log that's perfect for either a date night or a solo eve with Sauv B), to pastas, tacos, pizzas, and the most decadent milkshake ever. Breaking Up With Dairy proves that sometimes the best, most delicious things in life are a big change and a new beginning. Includes recipes for: 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, Breakfast Pizza Pockets with Hollandaise, Mini Quiches, Air-Fried Ricotta Balls with Ratatouille Sauce and more. So. Much. More"--
