Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Bravo to you on your meatloaf success. Any chance you'll share the recipe? We all have those cooking flop messes to deal with from time to time. Helps to have hungry eager dogs to help clean those yucky dishes out. *lol* Now pretty soon I am going to try making seitan. I just got my used copy of an old cookbook called : 'How to Make all the Meat You Eat Out of Wheat' By Nina & Michael Shandler. So many great ideas and recipes for using homemade sietan wheat-meat. I am not going to try making it from regular wheat flour though; too much room for error there and knowing me.... *lol* Is that what you did? I'll go the easier route by using vital wheat gluten and then follow the seasoning recipes and prep techniques. I'll share my successes with you all. Hope there won't be too many disasters, but we can laugh at those too if they happen. ~ PT ~ To find yourself, think for yourself. ~ Socrates ~~~*~~~*~~~> , Elizabeth Blake <stinky_harriet wrote: > Last night I made my first real vegetarian entree (not > counting stuff like pasta or salads, which everyone > including omnis make all the time) from TVP.

Is it okay to post a recipe straight out of a book? I'm sure it's out of print by now anyway! I don't have dogs but I do have two cats. My new cat, who I've only had since April, will eat anything as far as I can tell. I bought a package of some little BBQ tofu bite sized snacks and he grabbed it out of my backpack. I found him before he was able to shred the bag and just to see what he'd do, I gave him a piece. He ate it. I rescued a package of nori from him last week. He's shredded a bag of wheat bran, stolen focaccia bread from the counter and a blueberry bran muffin, which he started to eat before I found him. The combination of food + plastic bacgs drives him crazy. I've gotten better at putting everything away but I still forget sometimes. > Now pretty soon I am going to try making seitan. > I just got my used copy of an old cookbook > called : > 'How to Make all the Meat You Eat Out of Wheat' > By Nina & Michael Shandler.

Before I got it, I did attempt to make seitan based on several different recipes I found online. The results were...salty. I used some in one meal but then had to toss the rest because the sodium was killing me (probably literally!). I'm more interested in making a chicken style seitan and hopefully will get to look through the book soon. I also made mine from readily available gluten, not from whole flour. -- Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found so many good cookbooks that way, even some I had to purchase from used book sites that were out of print. If you try a recipe and like it because it came out good, please share. ~ PT ~ Do I contradict myself?
