I made this tonight at my firehouse and everyone had a second serving. We’ve been plant based for over a year and they love it when I make anything from you guys. They see me bring out one your books for inspiration and they say “fuck yeah!” So, thank you from Firehouse 14 in Portland Ore. Y’all fucking rock!
Hey Michelle/Matt. This looks awesome. I’ve already added it to my grocery list. One question though: You put an * by Cashew Butter. Was there going to be a footnote on that? Thanks.
SORRY! I was just gonna say that I know it's expensive but I can't ever remember to soak cashews ahead of time so I just buy the butter and use it in small amounts
I made this recipe and the Winter Vegetable Hash En Croute for Thanksgiving. Both dishes were huge hits, but Buffalo Mac was the big winner. Next time I’ll make an extra batch of Hot Sauce Breadcrumbs to serve as a garnish so the kids don’t fight over who has the most breadcrumb topping on their plate! This recipe will now be featured on all of our holiday/special occasion menus. Thank you!
I made this for Thanksgiving, and we all loved it-- best vegan mac and cheese we’ve ever had!!! Since going vegan a couple of years ago, we had not come up with a holiday main course food tradition... this may be it 😊
I now know why y’all don’t fuck with seitan. Finally, a question I have been asking the universe has been answered!!! But like all seitan? I would love to change your mind w/ a hash made w/ seitan sausage, an orange seitan (similar to the orange cauliflower recipe), and/or seitan piccata. Ultimately though ya like what ya like, and there’s a group with gluten sensitivities too that no doubt appreciate the lack of wheat meat.
I don't hate it in tiny bits like in a hash or sausage crumble. Anything bigger and its texture bothers me. We don't have any recipes for seitan or using fake meats because I, as the sole recipe developer, don't like them. It's funny because no one ever asks but if you've been following us awhile you'll definitely notice a pattern in the ingredients I avoid. Im human, the secret is out! Michelle
Hi, same same re asterix. But also, was told yesterday at TJ’s they’ve canceled my favorite cashew butter (theirs). Any suggestions for your favorite brand? In the Northwest New Seasons markets sell a delicious one, but they’re not in SoCal.
Hi Michelle. Thanks for your irreverent inspiration, always makes me grin while while I’m drooling over the recipes (not always a pretty sight). Any suggestions for an alternative for cashews in this, wouldn’t want to have to waste an epipen. I’ve used macadamian nut butter in the past but not certain wouldn’t argue in this blend. Please add me onto your friends list. BTW, I absolutely concur about seitan, it’s just plain nasty.
Soak 1/4 cup blanched almonds in 3/4 cup hot water for at least 15 minutes and use that with the soaking liquid instead. It will be a little grittier but similar to the caesar dressing in book 1 which i loveeeeeee

I just came to ask the same question. Thank you!

I like anywhere that lets you grind it fresh. There's a co-op in LA like that. Look for the hippie markets

Not a fan of dill. Do you have an alternate Suggs?
you could do a blend of cilantro and parsley, that would be good! Or use the some chives and celery leaves.
