You have just improved on my favorite popcorn topping. I always make popcorn, bake it in a low 200 oven for at least a couple of hours, then sprinkle on olive oil and lots of nutritional yeast, and a little salt. Now I'll have a nice jar of this delicious stuff to make the popcorn even better. Thanks. -
This is my new favorite recipe! I love this stuff on pasta and italian bread sprinkled with olive oil. No, it doesn't taste just like parmesan, but has a wonderful, kinda nutty, flavor. The amount of salt in this is perfect, too. -
Missy, I KNOW this is SO healthy, and I wish with all my heart I could like it. But I just could not embrace the taste. I tried it on popcorn, potato wedges and pasta, but it was not for me. I am glad you posted it, though -- it introduced me to a new food. I have been "hiding" the yeast in my morning smoothies since it is so very rich in nutrients. -
I love the taste of this yummy seasoning! I will use it on popcorn too and yummy on baked potatoes!

I tried this on spaghetti. To me it did not taste any different from just using plain nutritional yeast.

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
