If I sink to the bottom I can run to the shore.
so how much more seitan is there to use up?
a big tub of chunks

Dinner round at Brad's then! Never had Seitan....*rushes to shop to get a bottle of wine*
Looks much nicer than the name implies.....does it taste like Tofu?
not really, chewier texture and tastes more along the line of pork and in this case terryaki marinade as well as the satay it had origionally been marinated in
If I sink to the bottom I can run to the shore.
Sounds better than Tofu. Is there any way I can over cook it and make it chewier and unedible? Or is it pretty standard stuff? :smile:
it can be overcooked, easily
it's also damned difficult to buy or simple to make from scrath but requiring a huge amount of effort
If I sink to the bottom I can run to the shore.
Cheers Bradders I will look into it :smile:
Last night's dinner: Brooklyn Pad Thai from 'Vegan With a Vengeance'.
Yummy!!!
that schnitzel w parsley sauce looks very nice blackcats! i haven't had schn. for a long time!
Every time I look at this thread I get hungry. *om nom nom*
I took a beauty shot of some mac & cheese I made yesterday. No one else I live with will eat nutritional yeast, so my leftovers are forced into photo sessions. Organic pasta with a cheese sauce that's mostly made up of vegetable broth, n. yeast, and some flour.
mmmm, they don't know what they're missing.

Homemade potato bread with veggie burger and a quick avocado/tofutti sour cream concoction. The onions are hiding.
Ohhh, that concoction sounds delish! Did you think that up?

Yes, thank you! It was a last minute scramble when I realized a main ingredient in the mustard sauce I'd planned on making expired 3 months prior. The spread might be better fit for dipping cold veggies in instead of between buns, but oh well.
that's a very neat looking burger!
i'd be interested to have the potato bread recipe though please....
True that!
I've only ever seen it on one health food store.
If you buy 'Wheat Gluten' or 'Gluten Powder' online from somewhere like Flourbin (I've bought from here) or lowcarbstore than it's not that hard to make, especally if you have either a breadmaker or a mixer with a dough hook.
If I'm making from scratch using bread flour, I put about 2 cups of white bread flour to 2 cups of wholemeal flour and 2 cups of water in my breadmaker and knead for about 5-10 mins. You can do this by hand if you want. Then let it rests for 30 mins to let the gluten strands form.
After this its a case of kneading it in cold water follows by warm water, each time pouring the rinse water away (or keeping for flushing the toilet, watering plants, making stock or whatever).
You know it's been 'washed' enough when the water is pretty much clear after each rinse. Finish with a cold rinse in order for the dough to tighten up.
This will look like a very small blob by now. Don't worry, when you cook it it puffs right up and makes loads more!
Most people simmer their seitan in a broth of their choosing, I tend to use a fake chicken one. You can find loads of recipes on line. This simmering takes about an hour with a very low simmer, until all the juice has evaporated of been soaked up into your dough.
You can now eat it in whatever way you like.
As you can see, it's a lot of effort from scratch, but I suggest trying it once, and then seeing it you like it, then if you do, mail order buying some gluten powder from flourbin.co.uk and using that to make it, and that just requires a few mins of kneading, and then the simmering, but that doesn't require a whole load of effort really.
Quitting something because it's hard is wrong, and quitting something because it's wrong is hard. One takes cowardice, the other bravery.
All the food on here looks so scrumptious! I have to make mac and cheese one of these days.
Absolutely !
You've got to prepare nearly 1 1/3 cup mashed potatoes prior to these tasks:
-Heat 1 cup water & 1 cup soymilk on stove over med. heat
-Add 2 tbsp. nondairy butter, wait until thoroughly heated to remove from stove and let rest
-Add 1 package of active yeast to 1/2 cup water and wait until foam forms
-In the meantime, combine roughly 5 cups flour(but you might need closer to 6), 2tbsp b. sugar, and a couple pinches of salt in a mixing bowl.
-Combine everything (mashed potatoes, soy/water, and the yeast/water) to the flour bowl. Adjust level of flour or water to obtain a soft dough consistency.
After all that, just let it rise for as long as it needs. Knead and shape into standard bun-sized globs and bake until they begin to lightly brown.
Scarlet begonias - that burger looks great!

Ohhhh Kitteh, those cupcakes look so amazing. I'm craving some sweets now!
My absolute favorite thing to do is bake all day by myself and dance around the kitchen to all different kinds of music, at least twice a week.
Having said that, I recently moved in with my sister in manhattan nyc and she has the most teenytinyitybity kitchen ever. Like even for manhattan. There is (I wish I had a ruler so I could take a picture of it sitting on the counter) like 7 inches of couter space TOTAL. If I put a dinner plate on the counter it touches the stove and the sink at the same time.
I'm going through baking withdraws, big time.
kitteh all your treats look super fantastic and I'm not-so-secretly jealous of all your baking time
I appologise in advance - this isn't a picture of food. It's a picture of my latest cocktail creation that involves watermelon, ice, morgans spiced rum, captain morgan dark rum and southern comfort. It's really rather good, and after a few glasses I'm really rather unsober :

Kitteh, you're an amazing baker!
That looks nice and refreshing Mr F.
MrF that cocktail looks/sounds fantastic!
Usually the comments in here are positive, so please don't take to heart what one person was weirdly reminded of while looking at your food. You made it and enjoyed it and the rest of us think it looks great
Thanks everyone We're really enjoying the bake sales and plan on doing them monthly!

I know! I get hungry (and inspired) every time I check this thread out.
Mr. Flibble - that looks great! Except I'd have to do it with something other than watermelon. For you watermelon lovers though, I bet it's fabulous.

Wonderful, delicious and beautiful, Jambox!
jambox, that looks good, but... can you eat all of those tomatoes in one sitting? I like tomatoes if it's just like one or two of those small ones. But whenever I get a salad with too many tomatoes, I start to feel really bad and have to stop eating them. I don't know if it's the taste or what...

I make vcon inspired quinoa salad all the time for dinner now, with whatever I have laying in the fridge (instead of blk bean and mango). Big Fan.
What's the secret in the risotto???
