Veggie burgers can be pretty nasty but there was one I used to like. Morningstar farms used to make a cheesesteak versions with bits of cheese, peppers, and onions. It was delicious but sadly, they don’t make them anymore.

As for faux meat, I generally agree with the sentiment that there is no good reason for it. However, there are a couple of exceptions. I’ve found that morningstar make a vegetarian breakfast sausage link that is excellent. It is a completely viable substitute and it actually tastes like sausage. I don’t know how they do it.

Also, gardenburgers are a complete waste of time…… on their own. However, I’ve found that a gardenburger patty makes an excellent topping to a real burger. Get all of the veggie toppings in a nice compact easy package. Throw apiece of cheese on top of the gardenburger patty and another between it and the meat and you’ve got yourself a pretty tastey burger. It used to make the hippie vegan types I used to work with at Outward Bound absolutely crazy when I would do this.

I’m looking forward to trying your Tofu in Coconut-Curry Sauce. It looks excellent. Do you press your Tofu before using it? Those vegan hippies all swore that it was the only way to go with tofu.

I hate tofu. I can’t get on board with it. Plus Matt has extreme texture issues…tofu is not for him.

Can’t wait to see the other recipes you come up with!

the waitstaff described the very same profile of seeds and nut crust for the fish. the sweet and sour broth were made with honey, banyuls vinegar, browned butter, lemon juice.
i wonder who came out with the dish first.
your version looks scrumptious too!
