Here are my new cookbooks, not sure if I mentioned already, but I LOVE cookbooks. I have been wanting to cook more authentic chinese food for my husband, I read about these cookbooks and the fact it's vegan/vegetarian is great. I have my list of ingredients that I will need to get at the chinese supermarket this weekend and I will be testing next week.
Well, acutally I have begun testing, I am trying to find recipes that I can make ahead and then freeze. So today I decided to try the Baked Seitan Balls. I have made seitan before and to be honest I am not sure what to expect as I had never tried seitan bought in the store. These seitan balls can now be made into numerous dishes in the cookbook and freeze well.
Okay, here is what they looked like coming out of the oven...
nice big and fluffy
Here is what they looked like 20 seconds later, not so big and fluffy
I am not sure what I did wrong, if anything, the cookbook doesn't say anything about them deflating to pancakes. Well I am going to give them a try, shall keep you posted on how they turn out.
Also I have been following a blog, http://www.vegandad.blogspot.com/ and he has some kick ass recipes. I am not sure when he finds the time to do all this cooking, but thank goodness. I am going to try the vegan hot "wings" this weekend and the vegan lunch meat.
My other new cookbook, Buddha's Table has some great soup recipes and a few Satay sauces I am going to make ahead and freeze, LOOOOVVVEEEE satay sauce. Not sure if I mentioned this as well, I love sauces. My poor husband, I hope my making soups will appease him.
Well I have a very squirmy 2 year old on my lap, so must dash. Any suggestions, comments or recipes, pass them along.
