Vegan Sour Cream
Strictly vegan, works a treat with all things savoury. Try it, you may be surprised at just how good it is.
Not in the mood for dairy? Ran out of sour cream but have all this stuff on hand? This amazing vegan sour cream will surprise you with it's easy versatility. I would advise using it in desserts, but you know, anything savoury it is well worth giving it a go. It keeps remarkably well.
This recipe appears in the Accidental Vegan chapter in The Weekend Table, my favourite cookbook ever. I hope you have a copy as we are literally about to sell out worldwide. Get yours HERE.
