Comment on How to Make Cashew Cream and Vegan Alfredo Sauce by Mom

Mom — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:14:56 +0000

Welcome to veganism! This is a great basic recipe to have in your repetoire, and it’s really so simple and fool-proof. “Cover with water” just means add enough water to fully submerge the nuts. Don’t worry about getting the amount of water just right – you can always add more to make it thinner, and if you think you’ve made it too thin, remember it will thicken when you heat it up. In fact, you may need to add more water while you’re cooking, and if you have leftovers (fettucine alfredo, for example) you will definitely want to add some water when you reheat them.
Cashews tend to be kind of spendy, in part because they have to be processed to remove their toxic outer covering. It’s worth it to shop around; the best price I’ve found here in Portland is the Whole Foods store brand bagged (not bulk) nuts.
Let us know how the recipe works out for you!

Hello. Thanks SO much for the great Cashew Cream recipe! I’m a fairly new Vegan, and am excited to try this once I buy some cashews. =-) I have an important question, however. In step 4, your instruction “Cover with water..” doesn’t specify how much water. I assume you meant “add” instead of “cover”, otherwise I don’t know what you mean by that. Is that correct? And if so, how *much* water do I add right before pureeing? Thanks for your time. I hope to hear back from you soon so I can make this recipe properly.

Love the recipes! And I’m hoping to visit the Never Felt Better Shop soon since it’s not too far from me (I’m in the Bay Area).

Ralean,
Our nifty new widget to the right links to our online retailers —–>

If there is a food coop or natural food store near you where our products would fit in, let them and/or us know. We’d love to be there for you!
