The number of peanut allergic children has doubled in the last 5 years and it is a serious and alarming issue causing many schools to adopt a peanut free policy here in Canada.

It held together wonderfully, and my husband and I were both shocked at how "meaty" the texture was. I'm currently adapting the recipe to make some blackened New York strip "steaks" with a Bourbon reduction...one of our fave things to eat out when we were omni. If I ever get my vegan restaurant opened, I might have to talk to you about using some recipes...Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925296793560516038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-16207394252398337992007-06-07T08:00:00.000-07:002007-06-07T08:00:00.000-07:00Love the rainbow and your blog!

Regarding the pot roast, if it "fe...Thanks, Sonia! Regarding the pot roast, if it "fell apart" I am guessing perhaps, as you said, you do not have the right kind of gluten. Vital wheat gluten becomes a very solid, spongy mass when you work with it, so I have a hard time imagining it falling apart. Either that or perhaps it should have been kneaded a bit longer or there was too much liquid. Those are my guesses, anyway. <BR/><BR/>You can order yeast extract like Marmite online, and I've also seen them at English import shops and in some regular grocery stores. They have a wonderful, "meaty" flavor that we love in gravy and gluten "meats".Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-11199592714381116902007-05-23T23:11:00.000-07:002007-05-23T23:11:00.000-07:00Love the rocking rainbow!

I might just have to attempt that tomorrow for lunch...hmmmm...I guess my kid'll probably want one too, lol!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and for those asking about ranch dip, I can vouch for her recipe in the Vegan Lunchbox cookbook...it's very tasty and VERY ranchy! If it's not ranchy enough for you just play with the herbs until you get it...it's in there! I did add a bit of Better than Sour Cream to thicken it up a bit and make it creamier...it had a nice mouth feel except for the "beany" grittiness...that completely went away with some better than sour cream.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to ask you this, and I don't know right correct place to ask, so I'm asking here. I attempted your wheat gluten pot roast tonight. It fell apart. I'm not sure if I bought the correct ingredients, but I did the best I could...except even my local health food store doesn't carry any kind of yeast extract. Not sure I got the right kind of wheat gluten. But it was super tasty anyway! Since I'd made some mashed potatoes it turned into the best shepherd's pie I'd ever made lol! But I was *really* hoping for pot roast...that was MY THING when I was an omni. Thanks so much for all you do, the cookbook was worth the chocolate chip cookie recipe alone!Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925296793560516038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-61381224063607676202007-05-23T16:57:00.000-07:002007-05-23T16:57:00.000-07:00Where do you find a list of items that were entere...Where do you find a list of items that were entered into this contest? or do you jsut have cool insider knowledge? :)<BR/><BR/>Teddyfunwithyourfoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401140990054900570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-71017514828242472652007-05-23T11:50:00.000-07:002007-05-23T11:50:00.000-07:00So cute, so yummy!An idea on eating neatly...Perha...So cute, so yummy!<BR/><BR/>An idea on eating neatly...<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you could leave a few strategically placed "finger spots" on the top?
