Favourite Cheese Sauce Recipe (vg, gf, oil-free option, nut-free option, customisable)

If you enjoyed eating mac and cheese at the vegan cheese cookery demo last week, here is the recipe for the sauce.

Mac and cheese

adventureandcake's avatarAdventure and Cake

The other night I did my first ever cookery demo, and I loved it.  Probably mainly because I managed to crowbar in some cheese jokes.

When I became vegan, I accepted the ‘truth’ that I would never enjoy mac n cheese again, never again make cheese jokes… How wrong I was. This is my favourite comfort food which also doubles as a carb-loading meal the night before a race, but isn’t as stodgy as a non-vegan version, plus you get one of your five-a-day!

Q: “How does Spanish vegan cheese introduce itself?” A: “Soy cheeze!” 

This recipe is completely flexible; you can use pumpkin or potatoes and carrots instead of the squash, or miss out literally any of the ingredients (although not all!) and it’ll still work – you can even substitute the mylk for water. So don’t worry if you’re missing an item or two from the list…
