Seitan is available in whole food markets and health food stores. Even some mainstream supermarkets stock it in the refrigerated section. I address the best methods of preparation as well as a quick economical homemade version in my cookbook. Seitan is sold packed in a broth, which can be used in recipes. When preparing seitan, I like to drain it (save the broth) slice it into the desired size, toss it in just a bit of vegetable oil and bake it in a 375-400 degree oven until it dries out a bit or even becomes slightly crispy, about 15-20 minutes. This improves the texture. Then just use it as you would tofu or tempeh in your recipe of choice. For frozen TVP, one of my favorite brands is Lightlife Smart Cutlets. I use the chicken style and cut them to the desired size or use them whole anywhere chicken would be used. Thanks so much for writing and let me know how you make out with the seitan.
