This was pretty good. I did not have the Lipton onion soup mix, but the other reviewers made me think that was ok, and it was. I used a vegetarian fake chicken bouillon and added some soy sauce and liquid smoke to give it a more beefy flavor. I would not serve this as a roast, as it still had that odd flavor that non-commercially bought seitan seems to have. I used the stand mixer with the dough hook, which was really inconvenient. The dough is so thick the mixer just kept pushing it to the sides of the bowl. I will knead by hand next time. I chopped into small pieces and added to a mushroom stroganoff. I will definitely make this again.

I have found a true talent in cooking. This developed after getting married 6 years ago. I get so excited whenever I get a new kitchen tool, it's ridiculous! I try all my recipes on my hubby and 2 fabulous kids. They have very well-rounded taste buds for a 3 and 5 year old! I'm big into Italian cooking right now. I also love to make Indian recipes.
