Yellow Rose Recipes
By Monica on January 10th, 2008
If you have not yet purchased Joanna Vaught’s “Yellow Rose Recipes” cookbook, you need to open up a new browser window post-haste and order it! Or, if you are one of those fortunate Portland residents (and I’m not jealous of you, really) run down to your snazzy new vegan mini-mall and grab it in person at Herbivore. I think Joanna’s ‘chicken’ seitan has changed my life. Behold!
Aloha Bread, a delightful medley of pineapple and coconut in bread-form. A testament to how easy Joanna’s recipes are, Ray made this with only minimal supervision! And it was still good!
Mustard Crusted ‘Chicken’ Seitan. The easiest seitan I’ve ever made, and it’s absolutely delicious. The following night, I made buffalo ‘chicken’ sandwiches with the remaining cutlets simply by using hot sauce instead of mustard. I will be making these again. And again…
Rounded out nicely with Mojito Pie! I am a bit of a mojito connoisseur; I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw this recipe. Like everything I’ve made from YRR, this was simple to make, relatively quick, and consists only of easily found ingredients. No eye of newt, no rare jungle flower essence, nothing requires more than a couple pans, and I didn’t spy a single recipe that took an extraneous amount of time to make from start to finish. Simple, honest, delicious vegan food. This is my kind of cookbook!
And lastly, because cat pictures never get old: “Look, I be vegetarianz too!”

Hahahaha I can’t stop laughing about that cat picture! Salad is probably about the only food my dogs won’t touch (well, that and raw onions).
And the mojito pie? Oh my gosh does that look good!

I never thought I’d ever see a cat eating greens. Too odd for words.
The chicken DOES look fantastic. I need to start cooking with seitan a lot more. I’m still stuck in the tofu era!
I’ve been hearing about this Yellow Rose on lots of blogs lately. So many cook books so little time. Okaaaay… I’m adding it to my wish list. Darn peer pressure.

I am shivering with pleasure looking at the carbohydratey bliss of that bread! And the PIE! Don’t even get me started.

Gorgeous pictures of your YRR cooking! I have this book, too, and am debating where to start. There’s so much yumminess to be had! BTW, I think it’s awesome that you’re veganizing all these Czech recipes. Someday, I’m going to surprise my best friend’s mom by dropping off some of your treats to give her a taste of her home country.

I’ve been searching for that damn “Yellow Rose Recipes” book for weeks! I even checked Barnes & Nobel AND Borders last night - ugh!
Based on your glowing review, I guess I’ll just have to suck it up & order it from Amazon…
PS Love your cat - if he has any leftovers, I’m game
