I have been on a restricted diet for about 3 years now - no sugars other than a couple of servings of fruits per day, stevia and occasionally maple syrup; only oatmeal and rice for grains; and no dairy - so I have been learning how to cook all over again. I am just beginning to experiment with sauces and desserts and find that recipes that call for cashews do not specify whether they should be roasted, toasted or raw while recipes that call for other nuts are almost always specific. Can anyone tell me what form to use if using them to create the "creamy" base? If raw, is there a web source? I'm not finding raw cashews in the markets.

I would also guess that un-roasted (pale white) ones are what you'd need for creamy sauces, etc. They're available on line (I think ohnuts.com even has them on sale at the moment), and also at Asian groceries, if they're not available in a bulk section of other grocery stores near you.
Enjoy in better and better health!
