These picks have been selected for their versatility and convenience in vegetarian cooking, not to mention their fabulous taste. If you’re a new vegetarian or vegan, be sure to try these if you haven’t already. After all, exploring new tastes, textures and flavors is half the fun of going vegetarian! Look for these foods at natural foods stores and well-stocked grocery stores.
Texture vegetable protein, TVP for short, is a high-protein meat substitute available in a variety of flavored and unflavored varieties, as well as different sizes. It has a similar texture to ground meat when cooked and absorbs spices and flavorings well, much like tofu, so it is extremely versatile. Try adding a half cup dry TVP to your favorite soup, chili or pasta sauce while cooking, or sauté rehydrated TVP with diced tomatoes, an onion and chili powder for an easy taco filling.
If you live in Oklahoma, Artisan breads from Farrell Family Organic Bread, 8034 S Yale, Tulsa, (918) 477-7077 is one of the foods to try before you die, Farrell Family Organic Bread. Baked in the old-world tradition, the breads are available at multiple locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City and served at better local restaurants. The chocolate yeast bread with dried cherries is awesome but don’t overlook the challah, stirato or wheatberry nut levain.
Although it is made from wheat, seitan has little in common with flour or bread. Also called “wheat meat”, “wheat gluten” or simply “gluten”, seitan becomes surprisingly similar to the look and texture of meat when cooked, making it a popular meat substitute. Asian restaurants often use seitan as mock meat, and it is also the base for several commercially available products such as Tofurky deli slices. Prepared seitan can be found in the refrigerated section of most health food stores, or you can also make your own seitan. This is one of the foods to try before you die
Look at renowned cook’s opinion – A real Cuban sandwich, from a Cuban sandwich joint in Miami, or maybe New York – Growing up about an hour outside of Philadelphia I have eaten plenty of authentic cheese steaks and have even had them from both “original” cheese steak stands in south Philly, but somehow my culinary experiences have a gap in them when it comes to the Cuban sandwich, and it’s one I desperately want to fill while my digestive system can still handle it.
Egg replacer is a must if you’re baking without eggs and is one of the foods to try before you die. While many people use flax seeds, bananas or even silken tofu to replace the eggs in a baked recipe, Ener-G egg replacer works best and is economical and easy to use. Made from a variety of raising ingredients, egg replacer can be used in cookies, cakes and brownies as well as pancakes, waffles and more.
