Vegan "Nacho Cheese"

Saturday, April 18, 2015 - Dinner
"Nacho Cheese" (Recipe from Vegan Cooking for Carnivores by Roberto Martin)

I was highly skeptical of this recipe.  I usually like things that are naturally vegetarian/vegan, and conversely, I do not generally like foods that try to imitate meat or dairy.  However, I was pleasantly surprised, and this "nacho cheese" turned out very well.  It actually tasted very much like my mom's chili cheese dip that I used to eat many years ago, and which is still very popular among the meat-eaters at parties and family gatherings.  

The dip was not very photogenic, or at least I didn't make it look very appetizing in any of the photos I took, but it tasted good!  Maybe once I start reading some books on food photography, I will learn how to make some of these dishes look more appealing.  

Served with: chips & salsa and my homemade bean dip.
