ANOTHER Melty Cheez Recipe (Vegan, Egg-free, Dairy-free, Gluten-Free)

Image
There are already several recipes for Vegan Cheez recipes on this site, each a little different from the other, so why another one?  Well, I was thinking about my fave store-bought vegan cheese (Daiya brand) and recall that its main ingredient is tapioca starch.  I thought I could make a pretty nice melty cheese with that in mind, and I did!  Here is a picture of the ingredients: 1. In a pot on medium heat, measure in the following and whisk together for about 30 seconds or so: 4 T. Coconut Oil 5 T. Tapioca Flour/Starch 2.

Recipe for GOLDEN SAUCE (Gluten-free, dairy-free)

Image
I guess you could call this SCREAMINGLY GOLDEN SAUCE (I added "a bit" of Turmeric) Cook together in a small pan: *1 small Potato *1/2 small Carrot *1 1/3 C. Water When done, blend (including cooking water) with: *2 T. Cashews *3/4 tsp. Salt *2 T. fresh Lemon Juice *Dash of Celery Salt **1 T. Nutritional Yeast (add in OR substitute for the Cashews) Serve over broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Nice replacement for cheese sauces. (Above Golden Sauce recipe contributed by Wyona Hertwig with ** Note: My sauce didn't turn out as golden as I thought it should be so I added a little of the herb Turmeric -- we try to eat it some way everyday-- and I didn't have cashews, so used an equal amount of raw sunflower seeds instead-- I call this "Guiltless Cheese Sauce - Cynthia ) Other Cheesy Sauce or Spread Recipes in this Blog include: Alpine Cheese Spread American Cheese Melty Cheese Another Melty Cheez
