These are recipes using 100% nondairy VeganRella cheese
alternative, which is available in health food stores
throughout the U.S. and Canada.  There are 2 flavors of
hard cheese style (Mexican and Italian), and 2 flavors of
cream cheese style (Plain and Onion&Dill).  VeganRella does
NOT taste like cheese, but it tastes great anyway.
It does melt, however.

We donated $10,000 in 1995 to EarthSave Foundation from the
sales of VeganRella.  Thansk for helping us make a difference.
Enjoy!

At last, from the Wizard in the Land of Rella...a 100% non-dairy
alternative to cheese! Previously thought to be impossible, after seven
years the Wizard found that Brazil Nuts could replace the dairy and soy
found in other cheeses and cheese alternatives. And it tastes great as
well! The Wizard even created a delicious cream cheese variety.
