Hi, this recipe sounds great, and I want to try it, but my son is allergic to tree nuts, are the cashews substitutable (is that a word?) with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, or would that not work? Thanks!

Tina Pascoe – In general, nuts and seeds are all substitutable for each other :)

Does the nutritional yeast add taste, texture, or flavor to this recipe? I have everything to make it except the yeast and so I was just wondering. Thanks!

Michael – It adds that cheesy sort of funky umami flavor. I’m sure it’ll still be good without it :)
