What it does
It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken is Sam's vegan recipe publication. It offers weeknight dinners, short-time recipes, desserts and dedicated alternatives for foods such as cheese, meat, seafood and eggs.
The alternatives section is the useful starting point when the task is replacing one familiar part of a meal. It groups cheese, egg and other preparations separately, rather than expecting you to find them inside an unrelated dinner recipe.
For a complete meal, the weeknight and 30-minute routes provide a narrower selection. The archive includes seitan, tofu, beans and other approaches, so inspect the chosen recipe before deciding whether it matches the ingredients you want to use. A vegan version of a familiar dish can involve a different method from the one you already know.
The quick seitan recipe uses vital wheat gluten and a two-stage method: steam the pieces first, then pan-fry them. It is a useful example of checking both ingredients and equipment before choosing a vegan alternative.
