Don't forget to stop by the vegetarian forums to see what we've been chatting about, or just to say hi!

What is tempeh?
Tempeh has been a favorite local staple of Indonesia for at least 500 years, but it's rather new to the west. It's a great alternative to tofu, as it's taste is different, yet can be prepared similarly and is just as nutritious. If you're a vegetarian who hasn't yet tried tempeh - you absolutely must!

Vegetarian tempeh tacos
Now that you've picked up some tempeh from the store, what to do with it? These simple tacos are one place to start. A few spices and some taco fillings and viola! Vegan tempeh tacos! Tempeh will work well in most stir-fry recipes as well, so get creative!

Tempeh chili with beans
If you like homemade vegetarian chili, add some sauteed tempeh to your favorite recipe, or, try this simple vegetarian version of tempeh chili.

Tempeh "chicken" salad
Tempeh makes a great chicken substitute as well, but it's best to make this recipe in advance to really let the flavors all blend together.
