In just over 6 weeks, my new book, Vegan Mac & Cheese will be published and I couldn’t be more excited. This was a fun book to write and the response I’ve been getting about it has been tremendous. My virtual switchboard has been lighting up with questions about what kind of recipes are in the book , if any of the recipes are gluten-free or soy-free, and what is used to make the cheese component vegan.
I’m happy to report that there are a guide variety of ingredients used to make the recipes, so if you avoid soy, nuts, or gluten, you will be able to enjoy most of the recipes in the book, often by making a simple substitution. For example, if you use gluten-free pasta instead of wheat pasta or using one of the vegetable-based sauces instead of one made with cashews or soy.
The creamy goodness of the cheesy sauces are made in several different ways. Some are classic roux-based sauces, others are made with cashew cream, a few are made with silken tofu, and many of them are made with blended cooked vegetables. Whether you prefer your mac and cheese saucy or firm, stovetop or baked, you’ll find lots to love in this book, including an entire chapter devoted to “fun with mac and cheese” filled with recipes for using up leftovers (if you have any!)
For a sneak peek inside the book, here’s a list of the contents with recipe titles. You can pre-order Vegan Mac & Cheese on Amazon right now and you’ll get it as soon as it comes out. As a bonus, send my publisher an email with your proof of purchase and they’ll send you some bonus recipes!

I am so excited for this! I have pre-ordered it from a local Australian online book seller, and I can’t wait for it to come out.
I pre-ordered the second I found out about it- this is going to be a good year for plant-based cuisine!
Thank you, Susan. I’m excited that you’re excited! Can’t wait to hear what you think.
Thanks, Carolyn. I hope you love the book. It’s a great year for plant-based food, for sure!
Hi Robin,
Do these recipes use nutritional yeast? I can’t stand the stuff, so I’m trying to find recipes that don’t use it.
If they do, is there a substitute for it? Thanks!
