Thank you for this. I know this is an older comment but I just wanted to day thanks. Husband and I are not vegan or vegetarian but have been looking for cheapest GF and DF ways to extend our meat / reduce overall consumption without necessarily being vegan/vegetarian. I will definitely give this a try. I tried TVP for the first time today and despite all claims that we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference… we did. Will definitely try squeezing our the moisture and trying a homemade beef and bone broth.

He started as vegetarian, as many people do. The old recipes are still here for vegetarians to use or vegans to alter. He moved on to being vegan eventually.
