I just wanted to say that my Mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Your first reviewer was pretty harsh. I have never tasted tofu, but if I make your recipe and don't care for it, I will not leave such a negative review. -
Really gross. It seemed like it was almost there, it kinda smelled like it could be a weird nacho cheese sauce. The first bite was a little better than gross, but the more I tasted, the worse it got. I had to toss it.
