00:00:00.861 --> 00:00:01.967
Well, hello sunshine.
00:00:01.967 --> 00:00:03.573
I hope you're having an incredible day.
00:00:03.573 --> 00:00:08.188
Jared and I are thrilled for you to be joining us for this episode, tempeh 101.
00:00:08.188 --> 00:00:14.289
You're going to learn what is tempeh, why should I eat it and how do I prepare it.
00:00:14.289 --> 00:00:15.673
Let's get to it.
00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:19.768
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.
00:00:19.768 --> 00:00:25.050
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:30.452
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:30.452 --> 00:00:36.732
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:36.732 --> 00:00:44.432
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:44.432 --> 00:00:47.396
Professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:47.456 --> 00:00:56.520
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.863
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:01:03.863 --> 00:01:07.646
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:07.646 --> 00:01:09.210
You just need the way.
00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:21.049
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.
00:01:21.049 --> 00:01:26.325
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:26.325 --> 00:01:29.570
Oh friend, you are in for a treat.
00:01:29.590 --> 00:01:32.394
Today, we are talking about strange food.
00:01:32.394 --> 00:01:35.753
Well, it's only strange if you don't know what it is right.
00:01:35.753 --> 00:01:42.570
Strange is what you're not familiar with, and so we're going to break down the idea that tofu is not so strange.
00:01:42.570 --> 00:01:44.263
Tempeh is not so strange.
00:01:44.263 --> 00:01:46.180
We really aren't talking about tofu today.
00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:52.745
Listen, if you want to learn about that, go back and listen to all the episodes where we've talked and shared about tofu.
00:01:52.745 --> 00:01:53.266
What is it?
00:01:53.266 --> 00:01:54.349
How to prepare it?
00:01:54.349 --> 00:01:55.974
Is soy bad for you?
00:01:55.974 --> 00:02:01.209
You can find all those things inside our free group podcast insiders experience.
00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:10.991
Inside this free group, you're going to be able to search every single podcast episode we've ever created, so this is an ever-growing library for you.
00:02:10.991 --> 00:02:14.265
So if you're thinking I need a plant-based, I don't know what to do.
00:02:14.265 --> 00:02:19.909
I've been doing this a long time, but it just hasn't worked really well because it's difficult and it takes a long time.
00:02:19.909 --> 00:02:33.635
And we show you how to make this simple, enjoyable and delicious, and one of the main ways you can learn that for free is to go inside our free group, podcast Insiders Experience, where every podcast episode is searchable for you.
00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:36.109
So, again, this is the ever-growing library.
00:02:36.109 --> 00:02:44.653
I mean it will search down to the exact word that we said in an episode and you can just click it and play it and find exactly what you're looking for.
00:02:44.653 --> 00:02:46.020
So that's a great place.
00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:50.151
If you think I need to know more about tofu and is soy really safe for me?
00:02:50.151 --> 00:02:50.992
Is it healthy?
00:02:50.992 --> 00:03:02.873
Go and search it inside Podcast Insiders Experience, our free group at powerandplantscom, forward slash P-I-E and right now we are excited to share with you the inside scoop on tempeh.
00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:04.786
Now, a moment ago you mentioned tofu.
00:03:04.786 --> 00:03:06.722
Tofu and tempeh are kind of like cousins.
00:03:06.722 --> 00:03:10.110
They don't look exactly alike, but they are from the same family.
00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:16.703
They have many of the same health benefits, but they're different enough that they're each unique, different ways to use them, different flavors.
00:03:17.283 --> 00:03:18.647
They taste completely different.
00:03:18.647 --> 00:03:20.652
The texture is completely different.
00:03:20.652 --> 00:03:27.503
Most of the time both are made out of soybeans, though, but they don't have to be they can be made out of other beans.
00:03:27.884 --> 00:03:35.110
So we've had some that's made out of chickpeas different beans like that, so it doesn't have to be that, but generally it is soy.
00:03:35.110 --> 00:03:36.181
So what do we recommend?
00:03:36.181 --> 00:03:40.768
First of all, when you're buying tempeh or tofu, buy organic.
00:03:40.768 --> 00:03:43.451
This is super important for this bean.
00:03:43.451 --> 00:03:47.846
I'm not going to go into detail on it, we've talked about it before but by organic.
00:03:47.846 --> 00:03:49.610
So, yes, they're very different.
00:03:49.610 --> 00:03:54.188
So with tofu you can get super soft, but we usually work with the firm and extra firm.
00:03:54.188 --> 00:03:56.602
Again, we've talked about that on our previous episodes.
00:03:56.602 --> 00:04:07.824
But with tempeh it's just however it comes out from the maker, whoever's making it, it's usually more firm, more solid, because we look at foods like good, better, best.
00:04:07.824 --> 00:04:10.370
So soybeans are the best.
00:04:10.370 --> 00:04:11.812
So you eat the whole plant food.
00:04:11.812 --> 00:04:14.544
That's going to be the best, the most healthy for you.
00:04:14.544 --> 00:04:18.540
But then tempeh is really good because you still see the beans.
00:04:18.540 --> 00:04:22.548
You're looking at it, you still see the whole beans very, very minimal processing.
00:04:22.968 --> 00:04:24.791
Minimal processing.
00:04:24.791 --> 00:04:26.134
He hit the nail on the head there.
00:04:26.134 --> 00:04:29.887
And then tofu is more processed, right?
00:04:29.887 --> 00:04:33.434
You think about it kind of like the cheese of the soybean.
00:04:33.434 --> 00:04:38.028
So they process soy milk, basically take out a curd.
00:04:38.028 --> 00:04:39.331
That's kind of how it happens.
00:04:39.331 --> 00:04:44.951
You use the soybean to make soy milk, then you take out the curd and you press it and then you get your tofu.
00:04:45.093 --> 00:04:48.019
So it's still just soybean, although you wouldn't look the curd and you press it and then you get your tofu.
00:04:48.019 --> 00:04:52.014
So it's still just soy bean, although you wouldn't look at it and just know it by looking at it, because you don't see the individual bean.
00:04:52.014 --> 00:04:55.925
So it's still not an ultra processed food, but more processed than, say, a tempeh.
00:04:56.425 --> 00:05:01.502
Right, and so tempeh is going to be much more firm and it tastes very different.
00:05:01.502 --> 00:05:10.809
It has a bit of a bitter flavor and coming from someone who didn't like bitter years ago when we first started this journey, I'll tell you I absolutely love tempeh.
00:05:10.809 --> 00:05:17.079
It's not a strong bitterness, but it leaves a back-end bitter flavor, unless you prepare it certain ways.
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:27.266
I've seen people boil it in broth to take that bitterness out prior to adding spices and things like that, just to take the bitterness out, and they say it works well, it's not that bitter to us.
00:05:27.266 --> 00:05:38.221
And for the extra step for 20, 30 minutes to boil it in broth and try to pre-season it and all this, I just don't feel like it's a necessary step and I'm all about saving time, so we just don't even recommend that you do that.
00:05:38.401 --> 00:05:43.391
Well, you get used to it Once you know that it's there and you expect it.
00:05:43.391 --> 00:05:45.855
Once you know that it's there and you expect it again, you get used to it.
00:05:45.855 --> 00:05:58.430
But in the plant world, many times bitterness is an indication of health benefits, like when you eat greens the greens that are bitter, that's actually a sign of a lot of the phytonutrients that are in it that have a lot of health benefit.
00:05:58.430 --> 00:06:03.752
So I think to boil it to remove that you may actually be taking out some of the health benefit of it.
00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:05.225
We definitely need to think about that.
00:06:05.225 --> 00:06:14.252
If you're losing that bitter flavor and we know from research that bitters are healthy for us then are we removing some of the health benefit if we pre-boil it, and that is possible.
00:06:14.252 --> 00:06:14.973
That's a great point.
00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:16.305
I would say probably.
00:06:16.521 --> 00:06:22.252
I just love the texture of it, though you can't get the texture of this with tofu, because it is firmer.
00:06:22.252 --> 00:06:26.382
It with tofu because it is firmer.
00:06:26.382 --> 00:06:29.187
It is a bean and it's a firm block and you get this pressed out block of these beans that have been fermented.
00:06:29.187 --> 00:06:33.721
So tofu isn't really fermented, but tempeh is fermented.
00:06:33.721 --> 00:06:35.685
So what do we know about fermented foods?
00:06:35.685 --> 00:06:51.612
They're very good for gut health, there's no doubt about it, and so you have living organisms inside this food that, when you eat it, can take up residence in your digestive tract, not to mention the fact that you have the prebiotics because you're eating a whole plant food.
00:06:51.612 --> 00:06:59.223
You're eating beans, and so when you get these beans now, you're getting the fiber that feeds those beneficial bacteria, so they have the food they need.
00:06:59.223 --> 00:07:01.872
Just like, when you have the food you need, you're going to thrive.
00:07:01.872 --> 00:07:03.504
They have the food they need.
00:07:03.504 --> 00:07:14.749
Now they're going to thrive Because if they eat fiber and you can only get fiber in whole plant foods and animal products have no fiber then we know that we've removed those animal products and then we've added in the things that have the fiber.
00:07:14.749 --> 00:07:16.214
Wow, you're just going to thrive.
00:07:16.214 --> 00:07:20.182
I mean, it's going to be unbelievable what's going to happen with your digestive system.
00:07:20.182 --> 00:07:26.785
So, since it's fermented, you're getting the probiotics, but you're also getting the prebiotics that feed your probiotics, and you're getting calcium.
00:07:26.785 --> 00:07:28.185
It's a great source of calcium.
00:07:28.185 --> 00:07:31.187
Tempeh is also high in protein.
00:07:31.547 --> 00:07:34.928
Do we worry about eating enough protein when we eat whole food, plant-based?
00:07:34.928 --> 00:07:42.452
No, we don't, because all plant foods have protein, but tempeh, because it has beans in it, happens to be very high in protein.
00:07:42.452 --> 00:07:45.375
So it's a good source, as are all plant foods.
00:07:45.375 --> 00:07:48.696
And then we're getting phytonutrients.
00:07:48.696 --> 00:07:49.697
What does that mean?
00:07:49.697 --> 00:07:52.577
It's a nutrient that's specifically found in plants.
00:07:52.577 --> 00:08:04.509
There are tens of thousands of nutrients that they've discovered in plant foods that they haven't even named yet, not to mention the however many thousands plus that are in there that the scientists haven't even discovered yet.
00:08:04.509 --> 00:08:06.514
Think about that for a minute.
00:08:06.514 --> 00:08:13.185
I mean, and we're worrying about one or two vitamins, nutrients or minerals that we might not be getting enough of.
00:08:13.185 --> 00:08:18.012
Now we need to be aware if we're missing something, but just eat a variety.
00:08:18.012 --> 00:08:28.509
So if a blood test shows you're missing something or you're low on something, absolutely focus on getting the foods that will give you higher amounts of those things, but other than that, don't worry about it.
00:08:28.509 --> 00:08:33.451
Just eat a lot of whole plant foods and eat a wide variety of them.
00:08:33.672 --> 00:08:36.572
So you can slice tempeh in a variety of different ways.
00:08:36.572 --> 00:08:38.077
You can slice it in different shapes.
00:08:38.077 --> 00:08:39.000
That's what I'm talking about.
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.489
So you can make cubes, like you might make cubes of tofu.
00:08:42.489 --> 00:08:47.225
You can put it on kebabs, if you're doing that, make larger cubes, smaller cubes.
00:08:47.225 --> 00:08:50.642
You can saute or put on a baking sheet, which is my preferred method.
00:08:50.701 --> 00:09:10.505
Why would I want to stand over the stove and stir something and have it stick to a pan, when I could put it on a silicone baking sheet, on a baking pan, get it into my oven, save myself time because I don't have to stand there over it and get the sauces on there that aren't going to stick to the pan because they're on a silicone baking sheet that takes me two seconds to wash afterwards.
00:09:10.505 --> 00:09:12.089
This is the the kind of stuff we're all about.
00:09:12.089 --> 00:09:16.261
These are the things I'm going to be showing you how to do inside our upcoming course.
00:09:16.261 --> 00:09:18.967
These are the things that will change your life.
00:09:18.967 --> 00:09:27.460
They are keys to saving you time, bringing you joy in this process, because we don't have time to be spending hours in the kitchen.
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.769
It's like oh yeah, just saute your tempeh.
00:09:29.769 --> 00:09:30.673
You can do that.
00:09:30.673 --> 00:09:39.787
But there are so many ways that you can save time that are so much easier, so much simpler and that will bring you joy and ultimately actually make it taste better to you.
00:09:39.787 --> 00:09:49.083
Because I have to say that when I have not slaved in the kitchen for hours upon end which is what I used to do before you ate plant-based, the foods do not taste as good to you.
00:09:49.083 --> 00:09:51.188
When you've had to do that, they just don't.
00:09:51.188 --> 00:09:52.592
Everybody shows up.
00:09:52.592 --> 00:10:05.710
It takes like 30 minutes max to sit and enjoy a meal together Probably much less than that if you're like a typical family, even if you're sitting down at the table together, right, and so you've spent hours in the kitchen and they're sitting there and they're eating it.
00:10:05.710 --> 00:10:09.341
Oh, it tastes so good, and it doesn't even taste good to you because you're exhausted.
00:10:09.501 --> 00:10:13.066
And maybe you've been sampling the food, but, yes, all the time that you spend in there.
00:10:13.066 --> 00:10:33.461
That's why, whenever you go out to a restaurant and order something similar to what you make at home, it always tastes better because you didn't have to cook it, you don't have to clean up after it, you sit down, you enjoy the time with the people, that you're there with your family, friends, whatever and that you're having that community with them.
00:10:33.461 --> 00:10:35.167
And then, oh, your food shows up, and then you enjoy it leisurely, you walk away.
00:10:35.187 --> 00:10:43.962
So when you learn how to eat whole food, plant based, the power on plants way, we have a specific method we teach and it involves making it simple and enjoyable and really tastes good.
00:10:43.962 --> 00:10:51.393
And when you get those things together it's like the trifecta of perfection as far as making you love this lifestyle.
00:10:51.393 --> 00:10:55.725
And when you love something, you don't have to think how long do I have to do this?
00:10:55.725 --> 00:10:57.629
How am I going to keep it up?
00:10:57.629 --> 00:11:00.581
I'm going to fall off the wagon again.
00:11:00.581 --> 00:11:02.066
I fell off the wagon again.
00:11:02.066 --> 00:11:04.051
Those things don't become concerns.
00:11:04.051 --> 00:11:05.061
You forget about cheat days.
00:11:05.081 --> 00:11:05.962
They don't happen.
00:11:06.183 --> 00:11:14.616
No, you forget about those cheat days and all those crazy methods that you felt like were necessary, that just were not necessary, because now you have the easy way to do things.
00:11:14.616 --> 00:11:19.027
So I gave you that extra tip there of how to cook your tofu and tempeh.
00:11:19.027 --> 00:11:32.846
Realize that if you love to cook it on a pan and stand there over it sauteing it, put your sauces on, trying to keep it not to stick, turning it low enough and all those things, you can do that if that's how you want to make it and you think I've got to do this to make a stir fry.
00:11:32.846 --> 00:11:37.169
But if you want to free yourself up, give it a go in the oven.
00:11:37.629 --> 00:11:46.662
And even if it takes a certain amount of time in the oven, there is still time freedom because you put it in there, set a timer and you walk away.
00:11:46.662 --> 00:11:54.063
And don't underestimate how a couple of minutes here and there on these different aspects that we teach about how much time that will save you.
00:11:54.284 --> 00:11:55.447
Oh, it's absolutely huge.
00:11:55.447 --> 00:12:05.604
Even if you don't leave the kitchen during that time and you go ahead and make a sauce for a salad or you go ahead and make some other part of your meal, your meal is going to come together so much more quickly and you'll be out of the kitchen.
00:12:06.004 --> 00:12:13.404
It just brings so much joy, and if you put stuff in the oven then you're not cleaning up your stovetop.
00:12:13.404 --> 00:12:13.605
From when?
00:12:13.625 --> 00:12:14.649
you've been sauteing and stuff splatters out.
00:12:14.649 --> 00:12:22.743
So there are different aspects, where you get five minutes here, 10 minutes there, and then you realize, oh my goodness, I have saved 20 or 30 minutes, but not just today.
00:12:22.743 --> 00:12:25.509
Tomorrow and time after time after time.
00:12:25.509 --> 00:12:27.140
And then what could you be doing with that time?
00:12:27.140 --> 00:12:35.246
Spending it with family or maybe working on a business idea that you have just anything and if the food still tastes amazing, it fuels your body.
00:12:35.246 --> 00:12:37.620
Well, there's really no downside to that.
00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:41.311
You're getting all that you want in less time so that you can free it up for other things.
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.407
And Jared has just dropped another gold nugget right there.
00:12:44.407 --> 00:12:51.370
This is something I want you to think about more than anything, and if you've listened for a while or you're a member of Podcast Insiders, experience, our free group.
00:12:51.370 --> 00:13:02.410
We talk about this quite often and it's the fact of what makes us different, because we know that this is about making food a resource.
00:13:02.410 --> 00:13:04.475
Your life is not about food.
00:13:04.475 --> 00:13:07.046
Your life should not have to revolve around food.
00:13:07.046 --> 00:13:12.730
You want to be able to enjoy the food, and part of that is making it quick and simple and delicious.
00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:17.131
Right, it's hard to enjoy a way of living and eating if it's not all of those things.
00:13:17.131 --> 00:13:20.389
But why do we want to eat good food?
00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:22.508
Why do we want to feel our body well?
00:13:22.508 --> 00:13:26.508
All these things are so important and ultimately, that is what it's about.
00:13:26.508 --> 00:13:27.600
It's about relationships.
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.765
It's about your ability to think clearly so you can have good relationships.
00:13:31.765 --> 00:13:44.263
It's about your ability to have the energy you need so you can feel like going out after work with your friends or your spouse to have a good relationship, how you can run around and play with your children and grandchildren.
00:13:44.263 --> 00:13:57.671
Now, because you feel great, because you have the energy All these things that happen when your body just comes alive when it gets living foods, and that is why we want to learn how to explore and enjoy these new foods.
00:13:57.671 --> 00:13:58.352
Like tempeh.
00:13:58.352 --> 00:14:03.966
You're going to be getting things out of your life that are harming you, getting in the things that are going to fuel your body.
00:14:03.966 --> 00:14:07.030
Well, these nutrients your body's been craving for so long.
00:14:07.030 --> 00:14:09.200
It makes such a big difference.
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.866
So this is a game changer learning how to eat these foods that you think what is this?
00:14:12.866 --> 00:14:15.172
It's foreign to me, I don't know how to what to do with it.
00:14:15.172 --> 00:14:19.809
And you know you buy it and it sits in your refrigerator door for three months and you're thinking I don't know what to do.
00:14:19.809 --> 00:14:34.043
Get over that, open it up and start figuring out what to do and putting into practice these things that we share with you on the podcast about you don't have to stand over a stove, get a delicious sauce on it, which is what I was about to share.
00:14:34.043 --> 00:14:35.567
We have different sauces.
00:14:35.567 --> 00:14:39.024
You can try on it inside the Power on Plants cookbook, our first volume.
00:14:39.024 --> 00:14:42.072
I have my second cookbook coming out for you soon.
00:14:42.072 --> 00:14:54.562
It's going to have my sauce for making bacon and I'm telling you it is absolutely delicious and you can get it on some thin bacon sliced tempeh where you slice it to look like tiny pieces of bacon.
00:14:54.562 --> 00:15:02.245
Or you can put it on tofu slices and shape those like bacon and it makes the best bacony sandwich.
00:15:02.245 --> 00:15:11.131
It's like a BLT without the bacon, but it's got the bacon flavor and it is just unbelievable what you can do with that step.
00:15:11.131 --> 00:15:14.783
So you're going to love some of the recipes that are upcoming.
00:15:14.783 --> 00:15:18.051
I cannot wait to share those with you.
00:15:18.051 --> 00:15:24.971

I know you have loved the recipes.
00:15:27.065 --> 00:15:30.313
We keep getting emails from you and hearing from people inside Pie as they have loved the recipes.
00:15:30.313 --> 00:15:37.480
We keep getting emails from you and hearing from people inside pie as they're trying the recipes and discovering their new favorites, and they're going.
00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:38.965
I can't believe how simple this is.
00:15:38.965 --> 00:15:41.230
I can't believe how quick and easy this is.
00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:45.529
I'm making Alfredo sauce in like two minutes and getting it onto my pasta.
00:15:45.529 --> 00:15:48.044
I'm making what other things?
00:15:48.044 --> 00:15:57.325
I'm making tomato soup like I grew up on, except it doesn't have any of the harmful ingredients and I can have it on the stove in under five minutes, dinner is done.
00:15:57.325 --> 00:15:59.366
This is what we're talking about.
00:15:59.366 --> 00:16:05.687
You want to make this easy for yourself so that it is enjoyable for you, but I'm all about flavor.
00:16:05.687 --> 00:16:07.125
I mean, if you know me, from.
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.830
It has to be delicious, or none of the effort is worth it.
00:16:10.830 --> 00:16:15.669
Yeah, and Jared can tell you that it can be quick, simple and disgusting instead of quick, simple and delicious.
00:16:15.669 --> 00:16:17.424
Which one are you going to choose?
00:16:17.424 --> 00:16:18.806
Delicious every time.
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.826
Delicious every time, and Jared can tell you how picky I am.
00:16:22.826 --> 00:16:27.424
Some people are not picky about the flavors of food and I can tell you that's the case.
00:16:27.424 --> 00:16:29.264
I've tried a lot of recipes out there.
00:16:29.264 --> 00:16:31.990
Maybe you're like us and you've tried some nasty recipes.
00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:33.133
I am very picky.
00:16:33.133 --> 00:16:39.893
These recipes go through a an excruciating process not excruciating- Extensive.
00:16:39.893 --> 00:16:48.328
These recipes go through an extensive process of being created and recreated and taste tested here in the household.
00:16:48.328 --> 00:16:50.162
Jared really hates that job, don't you?
00:16:51.538 --> 00:16:52.162
So much.
00:16:52.604 --> 00:16:53.288
So much.
00:16:53.635 --> 00:16:57.105
So much where I tell her are you sure this recipe is ready?
00:16:57.105 --> 00:16:59.583
It may need to undergo about six more rounds of testing.
00:16:59.583 --> 00:17:03.643
It's for you, quality control for you.
00:17:03.643 --> 00:17:05.199
Somebody has to do it.
00:17:05.199 --> 00:17:07.444
But you said that you were picky.
00:17:07.444 --> 00:17:14.655
I think it's really.
00:17:14.655 --> 00:17:18.926
You're more passionate about your craft, so it's not so much picky, you just you love good food and it's an enjoyable experience and you want others to experience that with you.
00:17:18.974 --> 00:17:19.155
That's it.
00:17:19.155 --> 00:17:20.057
That is absolutely at 100 percent.
00:17:20.057 --> 00:17:20.941
And it's not just about my craft, though.
00:17:20.941 --> 00:17:22.685
It is just about how food tastes, because even when I'm not making it, if I'm eating.
00:17:22.685 --> 00:17:24.289
It's not just about my craft, though.
00:17:24.289 --> 00:17:30.886
It is just about how food tastes, because even when I'm not making it, if I'm eating it, I just, I just want it to taste good.
00:17:30.886 --> 00:17:32.798
It does not become my source.
00:17:32.798 --> 00:17:42.242
I'm not going to make it an idol in my life, but I don't want to sit down and eat something, especially when I've spent time preparing it, even if it is way less time than it used to be.
00:17:42.242 --> 00:17:50.414
I just want it to taste good and I want it to be something, as a person who's plant-based, then, that I can share with my non-plant-based family and friends.
00:17:50.414 --> 00:17:59.605
That might actually excite them about trying it or change their mind a little bit about hey, plant-based can taste normal, it can taste good.
00:17:59.605 --> 00:18:04.980
It's not all weird, wacky and strange, because sometimes they think these things that just aren't true.
00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:11.959
And to bust those myths, giving them a taste of something instead of just telling them how good it is makes all the difference.
00:18:11.959 --> 00:18:16.438
That's why, when you get your hands on these recipes and you try them and you make them.
00:18:16.438 --> 00:18:32.826
It's going to blow your mind and then you can use it to share with your neighbors, share with your other family members, share to gatherings, take to gatherings and open up people's eyes to the fact of how amazing this lifestyle can and should be.
00:18:33.326 --> 00:18:35.049
So back to tempeh.
00:18:35.049 --> 00:18:40.257
What you can do is cut it into cubes and get a marinade or sauce and it likes in the power on plants cookbook.
00:18:40.257 --> 00:18:43.625
You can pick up a copy of that at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.
