In fact, it was Quorn I was referring to in this post, where I talk about a non-soy product derived from a type of fungus. <br /><br />You're right, traditional moussaka is made without potatoes but many of the tavernas in Greece now make it with potatoes, and my dad always uses potatoes when he makes moussaka because he says they help absorb any excess liquid.

I tried arrowroot after reading some advice on the web but it was blergh. I have agar agar but haven't used it much. I just have to work up the appetite for more syrup cake because you know that when you make a batch, it's there for a few days and you eat more than one piece every day :)Veganopouloushttp://veganopoulous.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155736760088412354.post-25130870857898077942013-02-07T09:37:24.469+11:002013-02-07T09:37:24.469+11:00Hi Veganopoulous and thanks so much for dropping b...Hi Veganopoulous and thanks so much for dropping by! Yes it's hard enough vegetarianising some of these recipes, but veganising would be even more challenging. I can see why the good old revani cake is causing you grief - it uses 7 eggs or something doesn't it? And because the eggs act as both a binding agent and leavening agent you'd need something pretty substantial to replace them... have you tried more baking powder and some agar agar mixed with water? I'll keep an eye on your blog for the recipe!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08537570646930693086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155736760088412354.post-66043977782969806192013-02-07T01:23:54.259+11:002013-02-07T01:23:54.259+11:00I'm having this dilemma too as I want the food...I'm having this dilemma too as I want the foods I veganise (mostly my mum's cooking) to be as close as possible to the non-vegan version. I've been making trial-and-error revani cake to post up on my blog but so far no good with the egg replacer, and I don't want to try other alternatives because they stray too far from the taste of the original recipe. It's fun though :)Veganopouloushttp://veganopoulous.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155736760088412354.post-74251600841353720852013-02-06T13:11:32.507+11:002013-02-06T13:11:32.507+11:00Thanks Liz!

After making TVP meat pies for friends one of them asked, "What did you use that tastes like meat?". Uh, nothing - it was mushrooms and rosemary and gravy that she was tasting. I'm quite tickled by the thought that Greeks might even try to hide the taste of meat with cinnamon. :-DCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155736760088412354.post-90292485530857301852013-02-04T11:59:41.361+11:002013-02-04T11:59:41.361+11:00Thank you so much for dropping by syrahsuzie!

I like the sound of your recipe so I will try it using lentils. I'm also going to try the lentil meatballs - they sound wonderful.<br />I live in the south of France so I will have to wait a while to try your tomato and bean salad but we are lucky enough to have beautiful homegrown tomatoes at the market here in the summer.<br />Looking forward to lots more lovely recipes!syrahsuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696752759302952768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155736760088412354.post-63708578394863766082013-02-03T22:29:41.348+11:002013-02-03T22:29:41.348+11:00That's one recipe I was looking forward to see...That's one recipe I was looking forward to seeing on your blog :) thanks for sharing it! It looks delicious! <br /><br />Oh, I usually buy TVP from health food and organic food stores. I get the dried type that has to be soaked in water for a few minutes and it doesn't come with extra flavouring.
