It’s easy being vegan ’cause you can make this great “cheese” sauce in a jiff.
The Saucy Vegetarian
Makes about 1-1/2 cups
3/4 cup water
6 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped onions
2 tbsp sweet white miso
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt
Place all ingredients in a blender and process until creamy and smooth.
Use this sauce on steamed veggies and pasta dishes — or any dish you want to top with a creamy cheesy sauce. The recipe book serves up several versions of this sauce including a lower fat variation.
The Saucy Vegetarian offers over 150 no-cook (Yes, no-cook!), quick and healthy sauces and dressings. Sauces were a weak point for me in the kitchen until I purchased this book. It includes a wealth of knowledge on dressing and sauce techniques, including how to create your own for those creative souls. This was a much needed addition to my cookbook library. It may not be the newest cookbook on the market but it’s definitely one to check out. You can buy it online or at your local bookstore.

Pizza with Vegan "Cheese"
It’s easy being vegan ’cause you don’t have to give up cheese. If I had a dollar for every time I heard, “Isn’t it hard being vegan? I could never give up cheese,” I would have a lot of dollars! We are lucky to live in the 21st century when there are excellent vegan alternatives. Daiya cheese is the best vegan cheese on the market. It’s available at Whole Foods and other natural foods stores. If you don’t live near one, you can buy it online at Vegan Essentials. See, it’s easy.
Other notable vegan cheeses readily available include Follow Your Heart and Teese. Can’t find these products where you live? Then ask your favorite store to carry them. This goes for all things vegan. Ask, ask, ask.
More cheese alternatives to come, so keep reading It’s Easy Being Vegan.
