Take some extra firm tofu, freeze it, thaw it, press it, cut into slices and marinate in soy sauce and any stir fry sauce, for a few hours or even overnight. Then cover it in shake n bake and either fry or bake it for about 30-45 minutes at about 375, flipping once. It’s awesome over top stir fry’s, on it’s own, or as any side dish. 

The comments to this recipe said to ensure you cut the piece at least half an inch thick and to cook it for roughly 20 minutes at 350*. So try, play, report.

George Snedeker is an avid hunter who considers it much more than just a sport; to George, hunting is a way of life. George hunts mainly for deer meat and tries to use the entire animal in order not to be wasteful.

For 30 Days, George will live in Los Angeles with vegan Melissa Karpel, 29, and her vegan family: parents Don and Madeline Karpel and her sisters Stephanie and Kimberly, who are 25-year-old twins. Melissa is a Los Angeles Campaign Coordinator for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), a non-profit organization that fights for animal rights on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade and in the entertainment industry.

George will participate in PETA initiatives including a demonstration at a popular fast food chain, work at a local farm animal rescue center and meet with various organizations such as Last Chance for Animals, a non-profit group dedicated to animal rights.

Next up, the Post Punk Kitchen classic — Spicy Tempeh Nori Rolls with vegeniase! How adventurous! 

1. Vegan with a Vengeance

2. Venganomicon

Both look highly promising and are raved about by omnivores and herbivores alike… so if the meat eaters like it, it must be good… right? I’m thinkin’ I’m going to try a recipe a week. I read most of the intro to Veganomicon so far and I loved their laid back and casual writing style. Very accessible for those of us who may be intimidated by vegan cooking. ‘Cause really, what’s so scary about that?

Former Clueless star, Alicia Silverstone, is adding author to her resume.

Rodale, Inc has just announced their plans to publish Silverstone’s first book.
The topic? Vegan dieting, of course.
The book, appropriately titled The Kind Diet, is scheduled to be out Fall 2009.
According to reports, the book “explores the connection between what we put in our bodies and what we’re doing to the planet, and how choosing the right foods in the kitchen can help you feeling lighter, sexier, and more alive.”
Sounds like a winner. Minus the whole not eating meat part.
Her book will also include a 3-step diet program, along with 75 vegan and macrobiotic recipes.
