Veganomicon's Seitan Piccata


seitanpiccatameal, originally uploaded by veggiebytes.

This was a great meal and something I've never seen attempted in any other veggie cookbook.
The Piccata sauce was very tasty with olives and capers! Even though this is supposed to be an Italian dish served over pasta or polenta, I think the PPK girls did it justice with the mashed potatoes....I am a potato lover after all....eating rice at almost every meal growing up made potatoes a novelty for me. :)
Anyway, the photo above is the dish not plated.
Here it is in its fancy "I-should-be-at-the-Millenium" version with the haricots verts standing up.

So many pics..so little time


Alas! I have so many pictures of beautiful vegetarian food, but so little time to put them up!
Probably close to 75 meals have not been added due to the fast ticking of the clock.
Is it bad blog technique to backtrack for more than a month or should I just start fresh, like Springtime?

Anyway, above is a picture of a wonderful cake I made for my hubby's 34 B-day.
The chocolate cake part comes from Vegan Fusion Cuisine's Big Momma Freedom Cake.
Very moist and not overly sweet. I added some fresh organic strawberries and TruWhip, Cool Whip's Hip Cousin. It's not vegan (has some casein) but its a far healthier alternative to whip cream or the trans-fatty fake stuff.
