Cashew and Mushroom Loaf
"A delicious vegetarian main. I don't eat meat so I make this as an alternative when we have a roast or at Christmas/Thanksgiving etc. You can substitute the mushrooms for courgettes or a medley of vegetables, depending what's in season."

Thank you for the recipe. I did like the recipe but the next time i would make a few adjustments. The yeast flavor was okay the next time i would use an imitation beef flavor and use 1/4 teaspoon rosemary. The rosemary was stronger than i would like. By using the mushroom layer it made the loaf not to hold together as well, i would put it on top of the loaf; and would use an extra binder to hold it better. Or, use a heartier binder and put in the mushrooms and hopefully the biinder on top would hold the loaf better.
