Make your own TEMPEH

Make the best TEMPEH | Gunter Pfaff

How to make your own Tempeh!



"Betsy's Tempeh Foundation was formed in 2008 to help disseminate the information we accumulated over many years for making a consumer friendly tempeh.

When we were producing Betsy’s Tempeh™ commercially (1987-96) we received two patents for making tempeh on stainless steel trays, using a water bath method for heating and cooling (see " New Technology for making Tempeh")

The resulting tempeh was superior to other tempeh on the market and our version was a great success with retail customers as well as restaurants and institutions.

When the time came to either expand or retire , no one could be found to continue Betsy's Tempeh - otherwise you would have found it in your favorite store for the past twenty years. Although we retired and moved several times - over the years, people have tracked us down, to ask for help in producing Betsy’s Tempeh.

In early 2008 we conducted additional tests to produce our tempeh using readily available food approved items. We can now show that it can be made both at home or in a commercial setting."

Gwyneth Paltrow Vegan Pancakes

Gwyneth Paltrow has a new website and shares her recipe for World Vegan Day Vegan Pancakes from her Website Goop



SERVES: 3 or 4 (makes about a dozen pancakes)

TIME: 15 minutes
1 1/4 cups soy or rice milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour or white spelt flour (substitute rice flour to make pancakes completely gluten-free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 bananas, thinly sliced

Mix all the wet ingredients together in a small bowl. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a slightly bigger bowl. Add the wet to the dry and stir just enough to combine – be careful not to over-mix (that’s how you get tough pancakes).

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat (I love Jamie Oliver’s nonstick cookware – it’s so slippery that I don’t need to use any oil or butter). Ladle as many pancakes as possible onto your griddle. Place a few slices of banana on top of each pancake. Cook for about a minute and a half on the first side or until the surface is covered with small bubbles and the underside is nicely browned. Flip and cook for about a minute on the second side. Repeat the process until you run out of batter. Serve stacked high with plent"

Croydon Tops National Vegetarian Week Events

National Vegetarian Week



Croydon Top London Venue for National Vegetarian Week Events

Despite Croydon’s links to some highly esteemed people from DH Lawrence to Kate Moss it is often the favourite butt of comedians’ satirical taunts. Certainly it’s a place full of oxymorons , thus a lush oasis of comedic material ready for harvest.

Rarely making the top 10 lists about Croydon is that Croydon is home to one of the oldest surviving vegetarian groups in the world. Croydon Vegetarians was established in 1886 and is still going strong. Armed with this fact it’s probably then not quite so surprising that Croydon should have the most events organised for the Vegetarian Society’s National Vegetarian Week (19th – 25th May)

This year Croydon is celebrating National Vegetarian Week on every day of the week

1. National Vegetarian Week kicks off with a chocolate tasting session in Oasis Natural Health 96 The High Street, Croydon. Other goodies to try will be on offer too. Ladies from Croydon Vegetarians will be there to help you with any burning questions you may have.
2. On Tuesday 20th May a greengrocers in Waddon will be challenging Croydon citizens to try a different fruit or vegetable and dishing out free tasters. Graham the greengrocer will also have some tips about what to do with various more exotic fruit and veg and their nutritional properties.
3. On Wednesday the 21st Oasis health food store in Croydon High street has organised a Battle of the Bangers BBQ to engage Londoners and inspire them to judge London’s best meat free BBQ alternative from 5 competitor manufacturers. You’ll be able to nibble on Linda McCartney, Frys, Redwoods, Real Eat and Wicken Fen sausages. Celebrity nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston will be on hand to answer nutrition questions.
4. Thursday 22nd is the night when Lush Cosmetics will be hosting a pamper party, a book-signing, massage and taster therapy sessions. The first 50 visitors will receive a free rare bath bomb not available in the shops – a Rainbow Worrier.
5. On Friday night the 23rd Peppertons vegetarian restaurant in Selhurst will be offering a free glass of wine to the first 20 diners and the option to try a dairy free vegan cheese board supplied by Bute Island foods.
6. For Saturday the 24th of May Croydon’s Fair trade shop Fair Enough opposite the Croydon Parish Church in Church Street will be holding a Fair trade Tea Party for National Vegetarian Week with Fair trade cake and biscuits to try from Doves Farm.
National Vegetarian week 2008 celebrations end with a finale down in Bristol harbour on the 31st May and the 1st June at the Bristol Vegan Fayre. www.bristolveganfayre.co.uk - 10,000 people attracted by an awesome line up of bands, food, speakers, entertainment and ethical shopping.

Goji Berries- recipes

In the Valleys of Tibet and Mongolia there is a special berry the locals cherish so much they honor it in celebrations that last two weeks each year. Goji berries contain more beta-carotene than carrots, more Iron than Spinach and more Protein than whole wheat (13%). Goji berries contain 21 trace minerals, including germanium - the anti cancer trace mineral rarely found in foods. Goji berries contain 18 amino acids, Vitamin E, and 500 times more Vitamin C by weight than oranges. Goji berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, and B6, which are necessary for converting food into energy.

Vegan RECIPE - Cream of Buckwheat with Goji Berries:

For people who struggle with wheat allergies and gluten intolerance, buckwheat is an ideal food. Many people who are having physical and emotional challenges find that removing wheat and other gluten containing foods from there diet makes a profound difference in how they think and feel. Buckwheat has plenty of protein and B vitamins, and is rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron, and calcium. Although buckwheat has many grain-like characteristics, it is from an entirely different botanical family, and is actually a fruit. Since buckwheat is unrelated to the classic cereal grains, those who are allergic to wheat can tolerate buckwheat. It is also Delicious!

To make a serving for two people: Bring 2 ½ cups of rice or soya milk to a boil, slowly stir in ½ cup of Cream of Buckwheat, return to boil. Add a handful of Goji Berries per person. A dash of good quality sea salt or low sodium salt is optional. Reduce heat to low, simmer 10 minutes stirring frequently

Smoked tofu and bean burgers served with avocado sauce and green salad

This is a fantastic way to get good quality protein and B vitamins. Kidney beans have a lovely sweet flavour and they also pick up the aromas of the smoked tofu. If you are trying to lose weight, suffer from edema or swollen extremities, kidney beans can help as they have a diuretic action. They are also a good source of iron, magnesium and folic acid.

Makes 6-8

1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 plump garlic clove, peeled
1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely grated (about 60g prepared weight)
420g can 'no-salt no-sugar' red kidney beans, drained and rinsed in a colander under cold running water
220g pack smoked tofu, drained
75g/ cup sunflower seeds
1 small bunch parsley (about 20g)
2 tsp organic wheat-free vegetable bouillon powder

1 Preheat the oven to 220C/Gas Mark 7. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment.

2 Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend for roughly 6-8 seconds, until well mixed but still retaining some texture, pushing down with a spatula once. Remove the blade and take a handful of the mixture.

3 Form into a ball and place on the baking tray. Press with fingertips to make a burger shape. Repeat a further 5 or 7 times depending on how large you want your burgers.

4 Bake for 25 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and leave to firm up on the tray for 3-4 minutes. Divide between 4-6 plates and serve with a green salad and avocado sauce .

How do you make Tofu Tasty?

How to marinate tofu to make it tastier? Simply make a marinade. Here is a good one. Equal parts good quality tamari, a sweetener such as maple or rice syrup, mirin (a sweet cooking vinegar), water, fresh garlic and ginger. Marinate for several hours before using any method of cooking the tofu. I'd suggest baking slices or cubes of tofu before I would frying as healthier and easier for you.



After eleven years in business, Real Food Daily is now a staple for Southland health nuts. It's one of the few places in LA that specializes exclusively in creating Vegan food. The West Hollywood location is not only Vegan but Kosher-certified. Most people cringe at either word-thinking somehow healthy food can't be fun. RFD is here to prove them wrong.

When you first glance at the menu, you'll be surprised to see items like Total Reuben, TV Dinner and Burrito Supreme alongside Lentil-Walnut Pate, Hummus & Pita and BBQ Tofu Chop. The chefs at Real Food cater to both the raw crowd and the reformed carnivores that have switched palettes for health reasons. Both camps will be happy to hear that RFD's veggie-fied dishes are often better than the meaty, cheesy, cholesterol-ladden alternatives.
