Recipe by: Shmooey

Be the first to review it!

Seitan is a protein rich food made from wheat gluten, and is used in many vegetarian dishes. This recipe makes basic pieces that you can crumb and fry it to be served as cutlets or nuggets, similar to chicken, or use it chopped in salads. Seitan soaks up so much flavor, the possibilities are endless so go ahead and experiment with your favorite seasonings.

Baked cherry and almond custard

Recipe by: Patsy Jamieson, Diane Temple

Be the first to review it!

Fruit baked in a rich-tasting almond cream makes a homey, yet special, dessert. Tofu may seem like a surprising ingredient, but it makes a very successful and healthy substitute for butter or cream in this almond custard. Another bonus is that this dessert is dairy-free.

Baked Falafels

Recipe by: Ariana Klepac

Falafels, the traditional Middle Eastern bean patties, are usually deep-fried. This updated version, delicately spiced and crunchy with grated carrot, is baked for a lower-fat result, but is just as delicious and is served in Lebanese bread with salad.

Braised Tofu and Vegetables

Recipe by: Melissa

I love the braised tofu served at Chinese restaurants, but at home I like to make it healthier (without the deep frying). In my version, I use a lot of vegetables to make it more filling. This dish is good on its own or with rice.
