This vegan loves cream sauce.
Up until yesterday, I don’t think I’d ever tried cashew Alfredo sauce. So when I saw it on the menu at Cafe Blossom, a vegan restaurant in New York City, I instantly wanted to order Spaghetti Squash Alfredo: maitaki mushrooms, sautéed garlic, leeks, and slow roasted cherry tomatoes, mixed with tender spaghetti squash in a rich cashew cream sauce. I also ordered a side of grilled asparagus.
While devouring every last drop of sauce, I drafted the following letter in my head:
Dear Cafe Blossom peeps,
Your cashew Alfredo is the best thing since sliced bread chocolate-chip cookies. Please, can you send me the recipe so I can eat it, drink it, and bathe in it daily? I would be forever grateful.
Sincerely,
Chocolate Cashew-Covered Katie

What do you think? Do you think they’ll go for it?
Or be seriously creeped out? 😕

Seems like I’m always on some sort of kick…and I’m totally understanding the PB kick you’re on. In fact, I’m totally contemplating eating a big spoonful right now. So evil. 😉
They both look good but I’m voting for the fudge 🙂
PB&J fudge!! 😀
I looove vegan Alfredo!! I actually had some a couple weeks ago 🙂
GARSH, peanut butter is the best food EVER invented. Thank you George Washington Carver!
And definitely send them that letter! It would be so funny, and I would be interested to see what they write back.
I vote or the!blondies
I think that letter may just work!!! It’s worth giving it a go anyway right? If not maybe you could get them to sell it by the jar and post it to the UK?? x
Never hurts to ask!
FUDGE!!!!! Slash I want that pasta, now. It sounds just like Lisa’s!! http://www.thrive-style.com/
pb&j fudge for sure! It looks delicious 🙂
I vote for the blondies!!! They look like heaven…
Hi Katie
To help you with your cashew cream alfredo sauce here is a recipe that I use to make at work (which was a vegan catering company) I never measured how much of the ingredients I used, but please try it out and play around with the amounts:
1/2 cup raw cashews, 1/2 cup filtered water, 1 tablespoon ume plum vinegar, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup combined roasted/carmelized onions and garlic, to taste salt and pepper, touch of nutmeg. Let the cashews soak in the water for 10 minutes or so. Add other ingredients (in the blender) and blend until white, thick, and creamy. Yum! and Raw.
Oh and My vote is for both recipes please! But tomorrow pb and j blondies.
Oh and one more thing, I made your single serving banana bread the other day so I could make myself vegan banana bread french toast. So good. You may wanna try it. Check out my latest blog posting to see what I did.
Thanks! Love your blog.

Wow, thanks Debby! Off to check it out…
Pb&j blondies or pb&j fudge?
What would you rather see tomorrow?
= That would be like trying to pick if I wanted peanut butter or chocolate…it’s such a hard call!! Whatever you pick, I’m there for. And drooling no doubt.
And so happy you loved your meal! I admit that I am wayyyyy more of a sweet person than a savory and so sauces for me, well, I prefer sweet ones to savory but that alfredo sauce looks really good!
