Thehome preparation of raw gluten from whole wheat flour (7 cups of flour producing 2 cups of gluten) is described for use in meatless recipe preparations. In addition to Americandishes, recipes for preparing simulated dishes of 13 countries are given, including Mexico, England, Latin America, Africa, and other countries of Europe and Asia. Basic dishes using gluten are initially discussed as substitutes for beef types (cutlets, steak, hamburger), poultry, seafood, and cereal, alternative forms of which areused in subsequent recipes. The costs and adverse health impacts of meat-centered diets are contrasted with the low cost and associated health benefits of using wheat protein as a homemade alternative to meat. (wz).
