Re: what's your favorite mac and "cheeze" recipe?
I've been experimenting with cashew cream sauce. I wonder if you could add either a soy cheese of some kind, or maybe some nutitional yeast flakes? The cashew sauce is so rich and creamy...I bet it would be good that way! Here is a basic vegan cream sauce:
1 cup raw cashews (I soak them for a couple hours, but I don't think you need to)
3 cups water
2 tablespoons unbleached white flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tablespoon chickenlike seasoning and broth mix
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. celery salt
Place cashews in blender and add one cup of water. Blend until very, very smooth and creamy (a couple minutes at least...I let it go for quite a while). Add flour, salt, chickenlike seasoning, onion powder, and celery salt and contunue blending for a minute.. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add cashew mixture to boiling water and stir constantly while bringing to a second boil. Remove from heat.
Then I would experiement and add the soy cheese or nutritional yeast flakes, or whatever you think you would like best. The sauce is really yummy! You could even take out the seasonings and try it plain first, then add to taste what you think is good. I hope this helps!
