I realised it was a long time since I have had cheese sauce which means I also missed out on comfort food staples like cauliflower cheese and macaroni cheese.  So I developed this from various recipes people have shared with me and now cheese sauce is no problem.

More nutritious, healthier

Vegan gluten-free low-carb, low calorie, “cheese” sauce

I don’t just want to make a vegan, gluten-free alternative but it has to be nutritionally beneficial and healthy. I am really pleased with this. It looks yummy and tastes fab and it’s almost disconcertingly cheesy in texture and taste but lighter.

As well as yummy there are lots more good reasons to enjoy cheese sauce:

It’s super easy to make and you don’t even need to grate cheese! but if you do want to use cheese it will still taste great.
