Mock Meatballs and Fantasy Meatballs (2 recipes)

[Guest guest]

I’ve not tried either of these recipes, because I didn’t much like

meatballs even when I ate meat, but they come from a cookbook I enjoy.

Jean Pare’s “Company’s Coming” series of cookbooks have always been a

good source of recipes for me – pretty simple recipes with ingredients I

have or can easily get. These ones are from “Meatless Cooking” in that

series. Hope they help.
