Good thing this is healthier than "real" cheese sauce because I can't get enough of it! Nothing vegan tastes exactly like cheese (nor should it), but this is pretty darn close! I drizzled it on top of polenta with marinara sauce. The next day I added salsa and had it with tortilla chips. It's also good plain. Definitely the best vegan "cheese" I've had. Edited 9/24/07: The first time I made this, I forgot to add the cornstarch, because it is not mentioned in the directions. I tried it again with the cornstarch, and I must say, the consistency was much better without it. Reviewed for PAC 2007
