I used to do a cashew based bechamel, it was all well and good till I did a proper bechamel sauce and it made the lasagne about 20 times better... stick loads of vegan cheese in it as well and you can't go wrong!
What do you mean 'proper' bechamel? Butter, flour, milk? Can't eat flour (mrs can't, allergic to wheat), and don't eat vegan cheese, it's full of crap and is mostly saturated fats which I'm avoiding as much as possible, with great results.
Best 'bechamel' I've made recently used the liquid that came from the cut-off skin from a celeriac I put through the juicer. The intense flavour came through into the lentil & marrowfat pea lasagne.
Yep, that would be it... don't get me wrong, I loved the cashew alternative but for me, the butter, flour, milk combo worked way better... I like vegan cheese, but I don't have it all the time so a bit of fat aint so bad every now and then
