TVP stands for textured Vegetable Protein. It is defatted soy flour. Culinarily, it sounds awful doesn't it? I think that's why I never thought to use it; it just didn't appeal! Nutritionally, it is a great source of protein and fiber (Click here to read more about soy's effect on health).

I have long loved my classic Currant Wine Glazed Chicken which was one of the very first recipes I created 20 some years ago. It's reminiscent of the rich flavors of a coq au vin, tangy and sweet at the same time, and everyone I have served this dish to absolutely raves about it!

Basic Bulgur Wheat

Bulgur Wheat has a wonderful light nutty taste! It is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It is a nutrient dense whole grain that is high in fiber and protein (but a little less than quinoa or Farro).
