I have this crazy thought that I will make most of the recipes out of the hundreds of vegan/vegetarian cookbooks I have. I'll be honest, there are several recipes out of each cookbook that I would likely never make, simply because I do not like some of the ingredients, but lots of them look good and really make me want to make them. That is the point of having a cookbook, right?
A couple years ago I purchased a cookbook called the Vegan Diner Cookbook. All the pictures look great and I loved the theme. Upon further investigation of the book, once it was delivered, I realized it had tons (and I mean tons!) of typos. Really ridiculous ones too, like turn to this page for this sub-recipe, and the page it says is 000, as if they were going to go back and add it in once the book was completed, and just forgot. Plus, I have been cooking for so many years that most of the time I am able to look at a recipe and realize if it will or will not work. And there are quite a few in there that make no sense. This really in-depth exploration of the book came after making several recipes, thinking that the recipe itself didn't make a lot of sense, then trying it and having it fail. I cannot recommend this book for purchase, and after making several things from it that did not work, I put it on the shelf and haven't opened it in years. But, like all meals that I cook, I took pictures of it (these are pics from Brooklyn) and felt I should post it. So here are the breaded seitan cutlets from the book.
