Seitan and Beyond is chef Skye's original seitan and vegan seafood analogue cookbook. Many people who embrace a plant-based diet do so for ethical reasons and not because they dislike the flavor and texture of meat. But finding satisfying meat alternatives is not always easy for individuals who once enjoyed the flavors and textures associated with meat-based dishes, or for individuals who grew up with meat-based dishes as a traditional part of their family or ethnic heritage.
This cookbook is an expansion of chef's early work with meat analogues in the Gentle Chef Cookbook. These recipes explore new and different ways to approximate the texture, flavor and appearance of a wide variety of meats, meat products and seafood at home using gluten, tofu and other wholesome plant-based ingredients and without the need for expensive factory equipment.
The cookbook also offers a comprehensive section of recipes devoted to essentials and incidentals needed for preparing meat analogues, as well as seasoning blends, gravies, sauces and condiments.
