Nutritional Yeast

[Delaney]

What do I do with it?
Does it have a specific purpose?

I was just given some and have seen it in recipes here and there, but I don't know where to start.

I really know nothing about nutritional yeast except that it makes these crackers absolutely yummy. :yum http://www.gentlechristianmothers.com/community/showthread.php?t=346509&highlight=raw+better+than+cheese+it+crackers

I know a lot of casein free people use it to make things taste cheesy...but, that's about all I know too.

I might add it to cashew cheese to make it taste cheesier. Use in place of parmesan on spaghetti. I made a mock doritos dry dip with it once upon a time. I think it had NY, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.

This is what I thought. My DD does not do dairy, so I am hoping this will open up some new doors for us.
Bumping for more ideas.

I might try making flax meal crackers with it too. :think

Honestly though we've been without dairy for four years now and I found daiya cheese more helpful the NY.
