Can't tolerate dairy? Looking to cut down on your saturated fat intake? Just watched What the Health and you're now terrified of almost all food groups? [check out this myth busting article if you're in this boat]. Regardless, this Cheese-less Cheez* recipe is for you. Use it any way you would use parmesan - pizza, pasta or even in my Basil Spinach Pesto recipe. Just 6 ingredients, including nutritional yeast which is a great source of B12 for all of you who do avoid animal products regularly.
