Nutritional Yeast - affectionately known as 'vegan crack'.
Want something to taste vaguely cheesey? nutritional yeast.
Completely messed up a meal? nutritional yeast.
First you use it as an ingredient but soon you find yourself spooning it on to your food. Before you know it, you've stuck the spoon in to the container and are eating yeast as a midnight snack.
Personally, I'm not a massive fan of the texture of nutritional yeast. I wanted something I could add to foods I used to coat in cheese - I needed something similar to parmesan. So, after a quick hunt on the net and some experimentation - here's what I came up with. Be warned - it's additive!
Vegan parmesan
(note: I use american measurements as if you have measuring cups it is far less time consuming. I am also used to cooking based on how things look)
3/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2tsp garlic powder
1tsp sea salt
Mix together and keep in a container ready to put on ALL the things.
Places where you can buy nutritional yeast:
- ocado
- health food shops (not holland and barrett afaik)
- amazon
- online health food shops (veggie stuff, goodness direct)
- ebay
I have more recipes ready to type up!
