1. I was searching the section
I was searching the section for recipes and came across this one. Just the title sounded very tasty so I knew that I would have to try and make it myself. I went to the local natural foods market and purchased all the required ingredients, I already had some mung and lentils sprouted so I used a combination of the two for the bean layer. When I finished the "cheese" making step I had a little taste of it and it tasted WONDERFUL. I have NO IDEA how someone could discover the ingredients to mix that would produce a taste that was so very similar to cheese. I would really like to know who took the time to test different ingredients and finally found the right recipe to make a topping that tasted like cheese but actually has none in it! Anyways I finished assembling the dish and it turned out FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe I enjoyed it a lot!
