Raw Vegan Salad

This dish employs macrobiotic cooking. Macrobiotic cooking originates from Japan, and it is not only a method of diet but a way of living. The basic macrobiotic postulate is adapted to the region that we live in. This means that all macrobiotic recipes are subject to change, depending on the region in which we prepare them, but it remains very important how we combine the ingredients because this is what gives us the correct energy balance.

Seitan with Cashew Nuts

Seitan is made from flour, by kneading and alternately rinsing in cold and hot water until all the starch is washed away and only the pure gluten remains. Then it is cooked in water with shoyu and some additional seasonings. There are several different recipes, and it's available ready-made in some food stores.

According to Aveline Kushi and Alex Jack in their excellent book "Complete guide to Macrobiotic Cooking", seitan was invented by zen-buddhist cooks in China and Japan, who used it as a meat replacement. Seitan is gluten extracted from wheat. It is rich in protein and gives strength and vitality.
