Review
"The Pasta with Cauliflower Cashew Alfredo was creamy and flavorful and loved by all the tasters, veg and non-veg alike. Other recipes that we plan to try are African Peanut Soup, Spinach with Sesame Sauce, Handcrafted Granola Sunflower Bars, and Pineapple Coconut Cheesecake. We're going to make the cheesecake using Robertson's recipe for Cashew Cream Cheese. Yum! Highly recommended!" Judith Kingsbury, Savvy Vegetarian
