This sauce is amazingly cheese-like. It has a very hearty taste, and contains no soy, for those with soy allergies. Delicious and smooth, good for macaroni and "cheese" or as a dip or sauce.

I think this was lacking a little flavor. It needed garlic of more nutritional yeast. The thickness was perfect. I used half the recipe for a dip and if I wanted it as a sauce it would work.
