Yeast flakes

Has anyone got some experience with using yeast flakes? I once bought a package, kind of by mistake, and now I want to use it but I have no idea HOW. I only found something about putting some yeast flakes in hot milk with honey.

Please give me some ideas/recipes for using yeast flakes :)
Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Nutritional yeast? I sprinkle it on beans for a bit of extra protein and some flavor, I've also heard of people sprinkling it on popcorn.

    I actually love using Nutritional Yeast to cook Vegan Mac & Cheese. The nutritional yeast gives the recipe a salty, yet cheesy taste that I've always loved. I'm sure most Vegan Mac & Cheese recipes on VegWeb include it as one of the main ingredients.

    Most recipes call for at least a cup, so keep that in mind!

    I sprinkle the yeast flakes on my tofu and veggies stir-fry with soy sauce. Yeast flakes are a good source of B vitamins :smile:

    Aw thanks, I love her too. And, plus, in the avatar she just sits there clutching her purse and disapproving of everyone so how could I not use it?
