Vegan Mac and Cheese Recipe | Tara Stiles Eats

[@Eminguyen08]

I made this today eventhough I'm not a vegan, and omg, it's surprisingly SUPER GOOD! Not only it's very healthy but the taste is amazing!! But I suggest that you put salt and a little bit of pepper into the sauce mixture because you don't want to eat it without any salt, and I actually put 1 tsp of honey in it to bring up more flavour of the mustard, also I didn't bake the brocolli before, I just mixed everything together and then baked it at 400F for about 18 mins and it was good to go!

[@Dylanishea]

Just made this. It's amazing! Thanks Tara!

[@ilseesli]

I tried this and really really liked this, I have never used nutritional yeast before and as a pescetarian I am really glad you introduced me to this stuff, thanks!

[@KGO80313]

I've seen so many vegan mac and cheese recipes with cashews and I just can't understand how it tastes like the real thing but this looks SO good, I have to try it!

[@KGO80313]

Making this for the first time tomorrow for my parents! I can't wait!

[@LeeanneBispo]

Just tried this recipe and hubby and I both LOVED it!!

[@DST2223]

I just made this literally five minutes ago. It smells sooo good! I loved the crunch of the broccoli and texture of the mushrooms! but I would have to agree with @Quỳnh Anh Nguyễn I think it needed a little more salt and pepper. when I make this again I need to remember that. great recipe though!!

[@1987YNAFFIT]

Love your video and great idea I can't wait to try!!! Could you give me some pointers on how to create my own videos like this one. thanks.

[@ashleejensen2069]

This looks good, also Raw Chef Matthew Kenney has come out with an outstanding Vegan Mac n Cheese which I am addicted to, also using Cashews as the base with some differences like using Turmeric as the yellow food coloring plus getting the extra nutrition. I use gluten free brown rice noodles, and I think the addition that I will take from your recipe is the broccoli that looks good!

[@alexanderhathaway6998]

Im going to try this! I've been using butternut squash puree. I think it tastes like cheese.

[@juliab.4342]

Try cashews (soaked for 2-6 hours beforehand though) + baked or steamed butternut squash + nutritional yeast :) it makes an AMAZING vegan cheese sauce. Add tahini for a kick of flavor, and garlic, onions, salt, a hint of turmeric... just orgasmic. I've tried the same thing with cauliflower or sweet potatoes (instead of the squash), all amazing.

[@melbuck194]

I make some pretty good vegan mac n cheese, but I will definitely give this one a try. Thanks for sharing!

[@JessicaRobinS]

super exciting

[@SportyChica805]

wow this looks amazing.... i will be making this for sure.. what are the macros on this?

[@Nonpneumatic]

I love it when she describes everything as "exciting" :3 tara's adorable!

[@beachbum285]

This video has convinced me that she is a STONER! LOVE IT!

[@sweetbeeart]

Sounds delicious!!!!!! I've never made this version of vegan mac and cheese. I use soy cheddar for mine and soy milk. I love vegan mac and cheese, but the dairy mac is gross!!!! thinking of all the saturated fat it has is sick. Thanks! I'll try this.

[@onceinabluemoon315]

I love the detoxinista website, just made a "cheese" dip from there which is very similar to this recipe. Sooo good! The ingredients are posted there so u don't have to eyeball it. Not good reheated though, unless u add more water. So eat all in the same day. :-)

[@heatherbrown4300]

This looks delish!! I'm allergic to garlic,so any suggestions on what I can substitute?? Thanx :)

[@jaym9846]

I like her sinister laugh :)

[@linimae]

I made this tonight and it was really yummy!!

[@Tara.Stiles]

OMG I love all your videos! thanks for the comment! keep in touch! xo

[@MrsCallala]

Nutritional yeast is a by product of beer brewing.You can buy it in the health food store. it is basically inactive yeast and has a very strong "umami" cheese flavor. Unfortunatly you can´t really replace it. Do you have marmite oder vegemite? They will be close in flavor.

[@upgirl5000]

I'm so excited now.

[@MISSYMINX261]

Looks yummy! can't wait to try it.

[@TruckerCatz]

if only i had a dollar for every time she said exciting or amazing…… Hahaha

[@hippychickification]

if you're into tofu (which I only sometimes am), it blends well with garlic and nutritional yeast as well as the other ingredients. :-)

[@ashleejensen2069]

Chef Matthew Kenney's Cashew Cheese: 3c. Raw Cashews (soaked 2 hours) 2TBSP. Lemon Juice 1/4c. Water 1/2c. Olive Oil 1tsp. Sea Salt 1/4c. Nutritional Yeast 1/2 medium Shallot 1/2tsp. Chili Powder pinch Cayenne pinch Turmeric 1 Garlic clove Black Pepper to taste

[@3DVisualYoga]

[@BunnyCareFree]

Finally more vegan food! I am so going to make this(: And I absolutely love her giggles haha

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

[@staar7]

I love the little giggle she sometimes does! hehe

[@chefkendranguyen]

Interesting, and I bet it's really good! :)

[@inarihani8828]

So what did you do with the lemons?

[@sarahjpeters]

I do want to make this immediately! Lol :)

[@caffeinequeen38]

It's needed for this recipe. It gives a "cheese" flavor.

[@martinerobson8716]

I use a similar recipe myself, but I add a little Miso Paste to it (and I remember to add lemon juice :-P)

[@grfin]

i need to make this one!

[@TheLittlechicthings]

exciting and awesome!! How awesome and exciting!!

[@ashlee452]

ingrid/missglamorazzi totally stole this recipe

[@darcysexton6784]

Great video & amazing recipe! Would be helpful though if you'd put the recipe in text in your caption!

[@BellaZwerg1]

onion powder, Cumin, honestly you can just add any sweet spice :)

[@andreacampillo3158]

Can you please post the oven temperature for the broccoli and for the pasta plate.

[@rmkim86]

so dorky and cute haha. your laugh is infectious! cant wait to try this recipe

[@haleyingrid22]

Thank you for the vegan recipe!

[@catrinaalexis]

so exciting!

[@cnllnc]

this is very exciting

[@mimi3349]

this is super exciting!

[@suzyguay3860]

Question! Can you freeze the sauce that is left, or will it make a weird consitency when heating again ?? So much hateful comments omg! Ive tried this before and its DELICIOUS..! Some folks need to train their tastebud a lil..! Nice video! :)

[@merp2208]

Maybe make a little bit of the sauce just to test freezing :)

[@inxiveneoy]

Don't forget how "awesome" everything is :D. Lovely!

[@blondeybaby23]

you have the cutest little laugh ever!

[@fromsta]

love your laugh!

[@roolicr]

awesome won against exciting!

[@tigerspiritx86]

SUPA EXCITING! :D I'm trying this! Thank you!

[@biancabianchi4250]

Yes a really good one and a reallllly expensive one too

[@popsybubblemania98]

is chili flakes the same as red pepper flakes?

[@rebeccablacker4842]

To all that are interested in a WRITTEN RECIPE, it can be found at detoxinista.com/2011/01/move-over-kraft/ I love this recipe! To be honest, I was a little nervous about attempting another mac'n'cheese recipe because the last (and first) one I did turned out pretty bad, but do NOT worry! This may taste a bit different than regular cheese, but it was still amazing. I just put the pasta in the oven, but I pretty much ate most of the sauce before it even went into the noodles. I have no doubt that when it comes out, it's just going to be better! One little, itty, bitty, tiny, minty little adjustment that I made was to take out the mushrooms, and instead bake some bell pepper with the broccoli. (I also snuck a taste of the broccoli with the sauce and it tastes amazing!). If I could, I probably would have put more veggies in, but it is what it is. Thank you so much for providing the video. :D Good luck all!

[@applepi78]

What can I use other than cashews?

[@Sam13806]

Is a vitamix like a blender?

[@alannawatkins2]

What's nutritional yeast? Ant replacements?

[@Nikki0399]

What kind if pasta did you us?

[@BrittniisBlah]

your awesome! thank you :)

[@DST2223]

do I need to get raw cashews or does it not matter

[@canvasjen]

never though mac and cheese could be SOOOOO EXCITING

[@lauragoddardify]

I love how awkward she is! She's such a sweetheart :)

[@jbcomo75]

I think you say 'awesome' almost as much as I do!! :) We could have a sick vegan cookoff... We'll have to trade recipes sometime...

[@alonim21]

What is the lemon for?

[@mistersirisaacnewton]

does it taste like cheese at all?

[@franzabananza]

omg she said grey poupon...my bf officially loves her lol

[@Sunnysty]

Can you skip the baking step and fry the vegetable instead? I don't have an oven.

[@anastav6915]

***** maybe because frying kills every source of power that a food can offer you?

[@khlinhbi]

So that's how vegan cheese looks like, I should try it for sure!

[@anastav6915]

im making this TODAY :D

[@charlynnbabee]

exciting

[@suivrelesoleil]

THIS IS EXCITING!!!!!1!!1!!

[@BellaZwerg1]

yes, It's a high end blender.

[@strokepmr]

O.K., so I was waiting for the cheese part until I realized the CASHEWS are the CHEESE. Oh how clever!

[@cvrussell2610]

Is 'nutritional yeast' the type of yeast you'd buy to put in bread? I can't find places selling anything other than the usual fast acting bread yeast in England!

[@cvrussell2610]

***** thank you! :)

[@martinerobson8716]

In England a company called Marigold do Nutritional Yeast flakes called "Engevita" I get mine from a Health Food store called the Vegetable Garden near Baker Street in London. I expect some other health food stores sell it, but you can always buy it online.

[@cvrussell2610]

Martine Robson Thanks! I'll look out for it! :)

[@gb1421]

do you use raw cashews or roasted cashews

[@juliab.4342]

It's better if they're raw AND pre-soaked (2-7 hours before use). This makes the cashews (and most nuts in general) easier to digest - it gets rid of most of the phytates (anti-nutrients that bind to iron, magnesium, etc. in your body and carry them out). So if you soak, you're getting rid of the "bad" stuff and maximizing your body's ability to absorb the minerals that nuts contain. We should also soak our beans and grains for this same reason. If you're just going for taste though, then lightly roasted cashews would probably be delicious in this recipe. You can also soak your nuts first, dehydrate them, and then roast them yourself.

[@haay101]

Tara, you look a lot like Kimbra, the singer! :D

[@Amanda11762]

I'm not vegan, but this looks pretty tasty. :)

[@obso1337desu]

How does this do in the fridge? Does it get dry?

[@juliab.4342]

If you keep the sauce separate in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge, it'll last a few days and will be pretty much the same when heated, though you may need to thin it out a bit with a plant-based milk or margarine. I've been doing my own version of this recipe for a while, and I love it so much that I always make an extra batch of the sauce for the next day :)

[@thelifeofawriter]

More vegan meals pls!

[@caffeinequeen38]

The nutritional yeast gives this a cheese flavor.

[@emseeaich]

lol what was the lemon for

[@jgabriellex]

Omg looks so good :(

[@bernaldulce]

im not vegan but i was wondering if theres any nonvegan people that have made this and if so how did it come out?

[@newlife2596]

After 5 yrs ur answer is yessssss I make it all the time

[@justchele]

metal spoon + nonstick pot = :(

[@skywalker6648]

justchele Hate when people do that. It ruins the pan or pot for cooking as the scratches turns to ugly, permanant rust in no time.

[@sarahjaney97]

You don't need oil to make pasta? And besides, cashews are nuts so they have natural oils anyway.

[@Pml1921]

Yes!!! I know!! And everything uncooked! LOL

[@nina3405anna]

Her laugh!! :S

[@Hannah-vy6hk]

very exciting lmfao

[@naturegrl88]

"Super Exciting" lol

[@0mizundaztood0]

oh...

[@alijumper9131]

Did anyone else notice her growling? Lol

[@BellaZwerg1]

Well, the cashews are what give the cheesy texture.. try using tofu instead.

[@mahmudul14]

how are you , If anyone else has beensearching fantastic vegan meals it's worth considering - banfan genie vegan recipes (do a search on google)? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it from my colleague - just check out the recipe photos - excellent!

[@caffeinequeen38]

You would have to look for another vegan mac n cheese recipe that doesn't call for nuts. The cashews can't be substituted for anything.

[@LolaMarigold]

This would be a 20.00 dish if I had to use cashews. So expensive here, as is nutritional yeast.
