What are you craving?

^ Mmm, that looks nice. I've never made seitan.

I'm craving lunch, I'm not sure whether to make a lentil and carrot soup or just have peanut butter on wholemeal toast.
 
Anyone make seitan with active yeast!?

No, but I definitely will try. I have a whole tin of dried yeast.

I'd go for soup any day.

You should try to make some, as it is very easy and far cheaper than shop bought seitan.;)

Totally agreed on both soup and seitan! I tried store bought seitan- package had a picture of two guys on it, and was 'chicken' flavor. The small package was the same price as a 22 bag of gluten! I could make many packs from gluten. I will say it took a bit of experimenting, and if wasn't for my son liking the dense ones I may have given up.
The active yeast is supposed to give it a lighter, stringier or something texture

Oh yeah, and the youtube of Connies rawsome kitchen (haven't actually seen anything raw though) had this great tip of buying dried mushrooms at the Asian markets where they're cheaper and putting them in a food processor or blender for mushroom powder. I'd been thinking of buying it but it's expensive. I'm definitely doing that!

I had both, I made lentil soup and peanut butter toast.:D

I haven't liked seitan any time I've tried it, I had it in a restaurant and I had some jarred seitan too. The seitan I tried didn't look like that picture. I don't like quite a few "vegan" foods, seitan, tempeh, quinoa, nutritional yeast etc...

I'm craving my lunch again. Tofu fish, chips, peas and sweetcorn.:drool:
 
A bowl of soup and a mincemeat pie. Nice, comforting Winter food.;)

I need to go to Lidl's later on as I have to buy some onions and fruit.
 
soy milk. I always want to drink milk when we're out of food, but milk is one of the first things to go. I got 3 cartons of milk this time, so we should be good.
