Beautifully. And without getting lumpy (or making you lumpy) to boot!
This vegan cheese sauce is a superb way to get more veggies into kids – particularly the not-so-popular leek and cauliflower variety.
Serve with broccoli or over pasta, a baked potato, beans and rice … think mac n’ cheese!
It’s adapted from the Forks Over Knives cookbook, and I highly recommend the FOK movie – it’s a life changer.
