I Serve Seitan
Making seitan from scratch is quite interesting. Below is a video of someone doing so.
If I had an hd video camcorder I would have filmed it myself --starting with gathering ingredients, to mixing to kneading to boiling.
Seitan is a vegan food that vegans may want to try, yet may have a hard time finding. Recipes that use it can be somewhat complex too.
There is a basic instant gluetn recipe in Sarah Kramer's book, Vegan A Go Go. It calls for vital wheat gluten, which you can find in some Publix supermarkets.
You may wish to schedule a time to make it -- it can be involving.
You will really be proud of yourself once you make it (and it turns out okay LOL). It is a good indication that you are on the expert road to being vegan when you make seitan.
As you incorporate more and more vegan recipes into your meals and life, one day you will realize that your pantry is finally getting stocked with vegan staples. How great it will be when you look at a recipe and realize you actually have all the ingredients!
