Made the spanikopita from _Vegan with a Vengeance_ (1) today, and it
was good, but probably not doing it again. It wasn't so delicious that
it was worth the work. Still, not bad, and it could be an impressive
potluck dish.

I haven't got the book, so excuse the questions!
Did it use fake feta, or was it just a plain spinach version?

It "fakes" feta with tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and some
other stuff.

What aspect of it was too much work?

I don't mind preparing phyllo (brushing olive oil on each layer,
etc.), but it takes a long time, and if I do it, the result needs to
be delicious. This was merely pretty good.


Tomorrow, tamale pie (taco-seasoned TVP, onions, black olives, corn,
fresh roasted pasilla, covered in a polenta-ish crust -- no recipe).

That sounds interesting. I have a huge bag of TVP in my cupboard so
might try something like this (only wanted a small bag, had to buy a
huge one).

We use a LOT of TVP.
