It’s a great concept and we need more vegan cheese recipes out there that are outstanding. I’ll have to try your take on the swiss block and the mac & cheese. I really loved the cheese sauce in VWAV in the Fettuccine Alfreda recipe and have had some amazing nut cheeses in raw restaurants but have not been able to duplicate it (Cashew Cheese from Vegan World Fusion was a total failure!) I will continue the search and testing for affordable, tasty vegan cheese made at home.
