It is widely available in the refrigerator section of most grocery stores (near the tofu ) or health food stores and comes in a variety of styles. Tempeh is fermented so it's easily digested and has a really wonderful texture and nutty flavor. I'd like to suggest you pick up my cookbook "Totally Vegetarian" for some delicious EASY tempeh recipes as well as tips on how to buy it, prepare it and store it. Our podcast on iTunes also has a small selection of tempeh recipes that you can watch over and over while preparing. Once you try it, I'm sure you will love it as much as I do! Thanks for writing!

The Latin program provided a nice change of pace for an occassional vegetarian.

The general rule of thumb for TVP that needs to be hydrated is 1 cup of TVP to ¾ to 1 cup of boiling water. I always start at the lower measure first. Give this about 10 minutes to rehydrate. Once the TVP is rehydrated, use the fine textured TVP in sauces, soups, casseroles, tacos, and chili. Use a more heavily crumbled texture (some products are a coarser cut) to replace beef in stews, stir-frys, soups, pot pies, and hot entrées. Dry TVP can be stored in dry storage for up to 6 months. Rehydrated TVP needs to be refrigerated and should be used up within 3 days. If for some reason you feel the TVP is too wet, spread it out on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven at 300 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Check it after 10 minutes just to be sure since all ovens bake differently. Let us know how this turns out and thanks for writing! Toni Hi Janet, Good question!

I see it most often in the bulk foods at my local store and seems to be more available than the refrigerated or frozen kinds. I am somewhat confused as to how to hydrate the various forms for cooking without it being wet in the recipe. Do you have any suggestions? P>S> I love your show!

I'm not sure where you're writing from, but if you feel the show is on too early call your local station and ask that they consider a different time slot. We do extremely well in the late morning/afternoon slot. Now onto the mushrooms. I love mushrooms! Prepared properly they can be added to just about any dish, from sauces or soups to pasta and sandwiches. We are planning on more mushroom dishes next season, however if you have someting special in mind write me and I'll be able to have better focus on what you're looking for. For the moment if you prepare mushrooms as I do for my Savory Mushroom and Black Eyed Pea Burger, you will really enjoy adding them to your favorite recipes. Prepared in this manner they will remain full of flavor and texture. From this point you can use them in whatever you like. Please write again and good for you for choosing to include more healthy vegetarian dishes in your diet! Toni Hi Gabriel,
