Move over, Tofurkey. VegNews Magazine's 2015 Company of the Year offers their first cookbook, dedicated to delicious, satisfying vegan "wheat meat" recipes. Founded in 1997 in Seattle, Washington, Field Roast Grain Meat Co. creates artisan vegan meats, made with real ingredients and traditional food making practices. Chef Tommy McDonald shares fundamental techniques and processes that will enable the reader to make vegan grain meats (sausages, stuffed roasts) at home - for everyday (sandwiches, burgers, meatloaf) to holiday (the popular Celebration Roast). The 100 recipes are flexible: want to make your own meats? Great! Want to use Field Roast products instead? That will work too. Field Roast products (grain meats and Chao non-dairy cheeses) are not soy-based; rather they are made with vital wheat gluten, veggies, and spices - all-natural ingredients for authentic, hearty taste. Field Roast's ever-expanding array of products (roasts, sausages, deli slices, loaves, a frankfurter, a burger, and vegan cheese) can be found in retail outlets and on restaurant menus nationwide.

After my husband David's heart attack in the late eighties, I became compulsively conscious of what he ate. Fat and cholesterol were as closely monitored as his blood pressure and pulse. Equally concerned about our young son Jordan, who was tested and found to have hereditary high cholesterol, diet and nutrition became my primary focus. After many consultations with hospital dieticians and outside nutritionalists, we were given charts, books, and the clear message, No Red Meat! As a good dietary student frightened by our situation, I diligently followed the dictates of the hospital, making the directives a learning process. We eliminated red meat from our diet and transformed all of the gourmet cooking my family had become accustomed to into healthy and acceptable heart smart cuisine. Challenges always entice me...the bigger the challenges, the more interesting it becomes. We began eating endless quantities of vegetables, fruits, chicken, turkey, and tofu (higher in fat, but still legitimate). Still, we longed for that juicy burger or succulent rare steak. Three years later and tofued into oblivion, David and I were in South Dakota, as David was commissioned to do the painting for Mt. Rushmore's fiftieth anniversary celebration. Numerous local eateries were serving buffalo burgers and other bison specialities - touting this game as a healthy alternative to beef. The claims were accurate; there was virtually no fat present in the meat. Buffalo/bison became the salvation of our dietary dilemma.

We've tried to hide it, shoving carbs aside for cauliflower rice and courgetti, but we're not fooling anyone. Carbs are what we want - what we really, really want. We love them because they make every meal better. And anyway, global medical guidelines now say carbohydrates should make up 50% of our daily food intake, and that skipping them could lead to long-term health issues. What have we been thinking? It's definitely time to embrace carbs in all their guises. Macaroni cheese is (practically) a medical requirement. Whether you've always been a die-hard carb lover, or you'd like to learn to love them again, this book has the recipes you need. There are rice bowls, pizzas, pastas, tacos, toasties, muffins, loaves, and oh-so-many ways with the glorious potato, king of the carbs (including all the chip hacks you can shake your salt at). It's time to put carbs back on the table.
