I’ve recently found out about nutritional yeast and it’s kind of blown my mind. For years, it was a kind of secret vegan substitute and it has all these savoury flavours; you can sprinkle it on even the most basic salad and it gives an amazing umami finish. It’s a brilliant seasoning, even over roast potatoes.
It has an almost salty finish, like parmesan, so you can use it as a substitute. I’ve made a vegan mac and cheese for the restaurant – incredible, a unique depth of flavour. We make pesto with it, and we’ve been using it with wild garlic.
