Just made this today. I had to use a hand blender to mix everything together because my blender can’t handle boiling water. I had to sub out corn starch for the tapioca flour and red miso for the white miso, but it STILL turned out delicious!! Thank you!!
Hi Berta Jay! I’m a new viewer. I love your videos and your recipes look amazing. I will definitely be trying some very soon. Just want to say everything about the composition of the video is really well done including the background music. Very enjoyable 💐
WELCOME, Welcome, welcome, to my channel, Patti! So glad to have you as a Berta Jay Trouper. I made a video explaining how l got the name. I can send the link if you'd like. Let me know. I apologize for taking so long to respond. I am trying to do better😊❤
You are so welcome, emma. This is simple and very tasty. I hope you do get the chance to try it. Let me know how you like it when you do. Thanks so much for your comment. 😊
I had to try this. It was good. I did sub out silken tofu and added 1/4 tsp sugar to make up the sweetness of the missing cashews, reduced the liquids by 1/2 a cup, (my standard cashew switch out), otherwise I made it just as you outlined. I really liked it. Thank-you! ;)
Hi Berta Jay. I have significant heart disease and 6 months ago finally went fully plant based no oil. I want to thank you so much for your recipes because your tasty food helped me make the transition. I now cant believe how tasty real food is. I love this cheese sauce ( made some small changes) and your chickpea cookies that I make every week. Your food is simple and yummy - thank-you from a happy Australian
Thank you so much, Tess for your kind words of support. You are the reason l started my channel...l want to help and share what l did and am doing to stay on my WFPB road. I am so blessed that my simple recipes are a big help to you. How's your ❤ now? I am amazed that l can "speak" so quickly to you...a happy Australian 🇦🇺
Berta Jay..thank you so much for the cheese sauce recipe, so many people have spoken of the delicious cashew recipe, Berta Jay brings a video out about that, thank you so much💞
I use it for that very thing...you'll like it, Lonnell; I'm sure of that. Check back and let me know what you really think. Thanks so much for your comment.
Thanks, @@lonnellbivins4787. I don't have many men who leave comments. I really pray you enjoy this cheese sauce. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment.
Berta, I just love my Vitamix. It comes in so handy. Do you ever have any problems with inflammation from grains? This seems like such a nutritional well balanced way of how a diet should be. But there have been times if I eat more carb type foods then my joints get inflamed and painful. I'm trying to eat alot better. I find your channel very very interesting and I will definitely continue to watch and tell others about your wonderful channel. And will be fixing your recipes. Love Tamson from Kentucky😇👍 💕 💕💕 💕💕 💕💕 💕💕 💕💕 💕
I do have painful joints but have not noticed a difference because of my consumption of grains. I will keep closer tabs on that situation, though. I am adding more leafy and other green veggies in my diet. Try that and see if it helps you. Thanks for your comment. Always good hearing from you Tamson.
I had this problem too, and gave up wheat for a long time in my early 50's and pain went away. Now in my 60's and find pain comes back if I have certain white products, but find it not bad at all if I have a quality grain like Spelt or Khorasan or organic whole wheat. Barley and organic corn products are good too as well as sprouted grain breads. Hope this helps!
@@intheocean007 God Bless you Mishka. What a Beautiful name. I truly appreciate your input. I definitely will seek the whole grains you mentioned. I like whole grains a lot better. Because I love the texture and taste better. This way I can really benefit from Berta's wonderful channel. I'm in Kentucky. Where do you purchase your whole grain products you mentioned in your comment? Love Tamson😇💕
@@bertajay God Bless you so much for always giving wonderful advice. I love fruits and vegetables. I adore all your wonderful videos so much. I will try to add in more vegetables with my grain options. Of course I am 56 now. And at age of 8 was hit by a hit and run car. I'm sure I have good ole Arthur trying to visit my joints too. I use to work with a Physical Therapist for years. She had told me that plain unflavored gelatin worked great on painful joints by lubricating them and helping with inflammation. To just mix about a Tbsp into a cup of water and drink about same amount twice a day. Wal-Mart now sells their brand of unflavored gelatin. Much cheaper than Knox brand.
Hi Tamson. God bless you too! 💝💕 Thanks for your kind reply! I live in Sydney Australia. We have a lot of our own products here, but also a lot from the US. Like for example, Bob Mills ! 🤗
Honestly, Sharon, I don't really know. Most flours you can be used as a thickener but I really am not familiar with coconut flour. Most of the recipes I have seen that use coconut flour, use it like corn starch, in a slurry, before adding it to a hot mixture. If you're willing to be adventurous, give it a try and then share with the rest of us how it turns out. It can't hurt, right? Thanks, Sis, for asking the question.
I was talking about the nutritional yeast and other products to make the vegan recipes. All those things I checked on was so expensive in that health food store. I was wandering if you purchased them at a more reasonable price somewhere other than the health food store I was in.
I buy my products from many places including online. Try Swansons: www.swansonvitamins.com/ They sell their own brands as well as name brands. I have been shopping there for years and their Customer Service has always been the best (for me, though l don't speak for everyone). Also, Elaine try your local grocery stores. Mine have sales all the time with prices better than the health food stores. I hope that all helps you. Think of what you eat this way: ls it better to spend the $$ now on healthier products OR more $$ later on many doctor visits, prescriptions or many invasive surgeries later? The choice is yours alone. Just a thought.
I visited a health store to find some nutritional yeast and the thickener that started with ‘xy’ lol, but wow! That stuff is soooo expensive! Where do you find your ingredients?
I am a bit confused, Elaine. Are you speaking about an ingredient in the cheese sauce or one I mentioned in another recipe? The 'xy' is xylitol and is a sweetner (I get it online in a 5lb bag from wholeandnatural.com); so, did you mean something else? In this recipe, I do use miso which can be pricey but it lasts a long time. Talk back to me about which ingredient you mean...I want to help?
@@suchef8518 okay...can't wait to hear back from you. It should good. You may have to add a drop or 2 of sweetener to the recipe; raw cashews have a natural sweetness to me. 😉😊
@@bertajay Ok here's the scoop! YUM!! I had to tweak it because I didn't have miso. So I used a little tahini and some braggs for the fermented and salty flavor...OH MY!! I was making mexican tonight for dinner and was making a poblano pepper for us. I cut it lengthwise and removed some of the seeds then roasted in over until tender. Filled with refried beans and topped those with sautéed onion and portabella mushrooms and flavored this with my homemade taco seasoning. For color I topped with diced red onion and tomato on top. Put back in the oven and broiled until tomatoes wilted with a little char. Drizzled with the 'cheese' sauce. Served with a salad with salsa, avocado, a squeeze of lime , a few black beans for interest, and yellow pepper! THANK YOU so much for the recipe! I didn't get the message about sweetener til now but it's good to me just the way it is!
Okay, Mishka, I had a little cheese sauce left over and I had some leftover cauliflower. So, guess what I did...CORRECT...I poured my cheese sauce over my steamed cauliflower and it was so scrumptious! Yeah, Mishka, your idea is a WINNER!!!
Hi Berta! What is miso? And where do I get it and the tapioca flour? I’m trying to change my eating habits and these things are not familiar to me. Thx
The salad accompanying the pasta is gorgeous!
I always love a good simple vegan cheese sauce recipe. I like adding a bit of turmeric for the yellow color.
Thanks, Fields...that's an excellent idea!
I added about ¼ teaspoon of turmeric the last time I made this cheese sauce! Thank you so much, Fields...it was delicious! 🥰
You being so much light 💡 to my day and I imagine many many others. This looks wonderful ❤
Thank you for this recipe, this will go great with fries or baked potatoes!
You are so right, TopKek! I use it on baked potatoes and even to top just plain mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing.
I have made this recipe several times and I love it. It's so tasty and versatile! Thanks for the recipe!!
Looks good Berta! Thank you! Stay blessed!
Just made this today. I had to use a hand blender to mix everything together because my blender can’t handle boiling water. I had to sub out corn starch for the tapioca flour and red miso for the white miso, but it STILL turned out delicious!! Thank you!!

Looks good...question can I use "coconut flour in place of the tapioca?"

Oooh I am thinking this might work for a sauce for Tuna Noodle Casserole!
That will definitely work. Let me know how it turns out when you make it...I'd love to hear about it. Thanks so much, Pam, for your comment.

Yes, Suchef...try "raw", not roasted or salted, just plain ole sunflower seeds. They should work well for you. Let me know. 😉
@@bertajay Why did I not think of that?!!! Thanks for the idea! I will try it! I will get back to you when I do and let you know! ;)

Can you use anything besides tapioca flour
Try another thickener like potato starch, cornstarch or arrowroot. Hope this helps, Nancy. 😊
Nachos!
Never thought of that, Pink...but, yeah, that would definitely work very well. 😉
Mmmm, be nice on steamed cauliflower! ;
You are so right Mishka. I'll have to try it on that. Honestly, I did not think of cauliflower...thanks.
Okay, Mishka, I had a little cheese sauce left over and I had some leftover cauliflower. So, guess what I did...CORRECT...I poured my cheese sauce over my steamed cauliflower and it was so scrumptious! Yeah, Mishka, your idea is a WINNER!!!
Berta Jay fabulous 👍👍
And also, what is the name of the thickener you use that dont have to be heated? Thx so much.
❤ Thank you
You'e welcome, Yesenia.
Is this fattening? Thank you.
Absolutely, connie. It is made with nuts and nuts, all nuts, have fat in them. Sorry😕
Hi Berta! What is miso? And where do I get it and the tapioca flour? I’m trying to change my eating habits and these things are not familiar to me. Thx
Trouper Elaine, where do you live? Just give me the state...I don't need to know your address. Thanks.
@@bertajay I live in West Virginia.
@@Elainelovejoy Okay, Elaine. I have run completely out of ideas for you. 😔
@@bertajay do you mean you cannot get miso or tapioca flour in WV?
@@Elainelovejoy I have found both items at Whole Foods. I will put them in my Amazon Store. Thanks for asking.
One could drizzle it on pizza, after it is baked for a mozzarella cheese effect.
I love that idea, Naomi. Sound very tasty. Thanks for your comment.
