Good on pasta, in salads or other savoury dishes that needs a cheesy flavour. The coconut makes it feel like it melts on your tongue, but it does add a coconut flavour. One thing to be aware of when making this, is that not all nutritional yeast flakes tastes the same. Some have a strong cheesy flavour to them, others tend to taste like paper. Be sure to find a brand that has a cheesy flavour.
