Calamari
Hearts of palm are a really good substitute for seafood because of their light and flaky texture, so I often use them in vegan seafood recipes, like my crabless cakes.

Dijon Mustard Tofu
Browned tofu slices draped in a creamy Dijon sauce seasoned with fresh cracked pepper. It tastes as divine as it sounds! The sharp mustard is complemented with white wine and vegan sour cream to make a deliciously creamy sauce; I had it with chicken back in my meat eating days, and now I can say…
