Lion’s Mane Steak
I thought I’d share how I like to prepare lion’s mane mushroom. I think this is a really good way to get the best out of them. I find that it’s best to drive as much moisture out of the mushroom as you can. I do this by dry frying them, as you can then… Continue reading Lion’s Mane Steak

It’s not trying to mimic the other kind of corned beef, where the beef is cured with salt, sugar and spices. This seitan replicates the colour, texture and flavour of tinned corned beef,… Continue reading Corned Beef Style Seitan
