Soup's On Winner and Terry Testers

Lately, I've been back to doing some testing for other authors, and it's so much fun. The food has been delicious, too. Let me tempt you with some of the latest dishes I've made from Terry Hope Romero's upcoming book. Originally the book was called Vegan Latina, but it sounds like that won't be the official name. Whatever it's called in the end, don't miss it!

Zesty Orange Mojo Baked Tofu

Admittedly, this isn't the most beautiful of the photos I'm posting today, but it tastes incredible. This is one of those recipes that becomes so much greater than it's parts. The texture on the tofu is ideal. The side dish is a pan fried quinoa, also from Terry.

Peruvian Seitan and Potato Skewers

An awesome summer grill dinner, or you can make it inside. This version has the optional vegetables. Terry's flavorful marinade makes this a delicious dish.

Latino Shredded Seitan

This one might be my favorite of the bunch. This happens to be the chipotle version. Like a lot of Terry's recipes, she offers variations and different seasonings, so the options abound!

I've kept you in suspense long enough. Now for the winner of Soup's On.........it's Amanda, who commented:

My favorite soup is a vegetarian Pho with rice noodles..love it. My favorite muffin is harder to say..I love a good banana nut, corn is also good and who can say no to a blueberry one either!

Congratulations, Amanda! Please email me your mailing address and I'll get this book out to you.

I happen to love Pho, too. Amanda, be sure to try these blueberry muffins when you get the book!

Thanks again to the Book Publishing Company for making these contests possible and all their support of veganism.

Even if you didn't win this book, please stay tuned for another book contest coming on Sept. 21st.

And.....we'd love to have you join us for Food Network Friday. Come on, it's French Toast! Show us how you'd veganize it. Email me your version or reply to my post on Friday, Sept 18th.
