It really does seem a lot like egg yolk when you first mix it up. The omelet looks exactly like egg, but doesn't taste like it. That works for me.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-51135219492961560782012-07-07T16:36:48.578-07:002012-07-07T16:36:48.578-07:00Oh, it's so weird to think about how much I lo...Oh, it's so weird to think about how much I loved fried egg sandwiches when I was about 6 and under. I brought them in my lunch for kindergarten. But I grew an aversion to them over the years after that. Like someone said above, my mom would sneak raw ones in my milkshakes to make sure I was getting enough protein. <br /><br />And as much as I think eggs are disgusting, it's weird how much I totally want to find a place to buy this product. Isn't that ironic? It all looks really delicious.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320336368732794711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-1039787029107203322012-06-29T18:45:58.494-07:002012-06-29T18:45:58.494-07:00I remember a magical cake frosting I used to make ...I remember a magical cake frosting I used to make with beaten egg whites and boiled maple syrup, pre-vegan.

We've had to cook eggs every which way, and I do admit that they're rather magical in the many alchemical properties they have, but the smell, texture, etc is just so unappealing to me. <br /><br />A friend of mine is eating more and more vegan foods, but loves eggs and has been desperately trying to replace them.. I'll definitely pass this post on to him, as he's bought some Vegg - but I'm a little spooked by the stuff!

I'm hoping someone who loved eggs will come forth! I remember asking my father, as we were eating cold cuts, "why do they call it tongue?" Guess who never ate tongue again. That could have been the root of my future lifestyle forming. <br /><br />This was the first time I put a hot sauce on zuke pasta, and it was great! I combine other raw and hot foods with happy results, but had always kept zucchini as a raw dish. <br /><br />The veterans are preceded by a drum and bugle corps, and the effect is very emotional for me.

People not that interested in reproducing eggs, or who already happily use nutritional yeast, probably wouldn't be impressed. <br /><br />I understand your restaurant tension perfectly as I experienced the same fears any time I tried to eat eggs in a restaurant. My scrambled eggs had to be almost rubbery — forget poached eggs or omelets. Bleh.<br /><br />The Arribbiata (changed to Puttanesca by the addition of olives) was excellent and super fast to make.

The quiche recipe was from Diet Dessert and Dogs. It makes such a huge amount that I'm thinking I might cut the chickpea flour mix in half next time, but keep the veggies the same. And you don't need Vegg — you can add some yeast flakes and black salt if you like.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-71763405574995978592012-06-26T09:01:06.101-07:002012-06-26T09:01:06.101-07:00Isn't it funny how many vegans have egg horror...Isn't it funny how many vegans have egg horror stories? Even though my mom grew up allergic to eggs, my grandmother must have gotten the same instruction because she would sneak a raw egg into milk shakes to get my mom to ingest it (and inevitably throw it up). I too would only eat the driest eggs until I asked, "What exactly IS an egg?" and then she didn't make me eat them anymore either.<br /><br />I don't know why it's never occurred to me to put warm sauce on the raw zucchini pasta; that sounds terrific and I love the addition of kalamata olives.<br /><br />3 cheers for the veterans for peace!Abby Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060920122127099172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-8340134387987731022012-06-26T08:58:35.417-07:002012-06-26T08:58:35.417-07:00Sure.

When my husband and I started dating, he was also very particular about his egg preparation. When we'd go to brunch, I'd tense up when he'd order poached eggs very hard. I knew they wouldn't be hard enough for him, and he couldn't eat them if they were gelatinous at all. It's so much easier now since we're both vegan! <br /><br />Happy birthday to your husband! Somehow I've never tried the Penne Arrabbiatta in Vegan Table. (I feel like I've cooked everything in that book!)

I am strange, though, in that I DO like the use of black salt with tofu to mimic "eggy" flavor. Weird since I never liked eggs. Your chickpea flour quiche looks fabulous! I will have to try it out, but probably without the Vegg since I haven't seen it anywhere except on line. <br /><br />Happy birthday to your husband! It looks like you had a delicious meal to celebrate. I love my spiralizer for zucchini pasta! I have never considered pressing it/draining it, though.
