I enjoyed this. It makes a nice, plump log and slices so cleanly. It's pretty versatile; thinly sliced in a sandwich, breaded and dipped in BBQ sauce. Thanks for posting AJO.

I made this recipe after finding it on the PPK site and loved it. I ended up having a few meals with it (BBQ Seitan and 2 different types of chili). It was pretty easy to make as well. This is going to sound so weird, but it tasted like a mix between pumpkin pie and pepperoni. Next time, I'll leave out or cut back on the cinnamon. ***EDIT: I changed the spices around the 2nd time and it was even better: salt, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and used broth instead of water. MUCH MUCH better!

This was delicious - very meaty. I did not have any paprika or allspice so I substituted it with additional cayenne pepper. It turned out great, super easy and quick to prepare, I will definitely be making this again. I doubt I'll need to buy meat substitutes again! Next time I will try baking these in smaller logs in an attempt for sausage. The taste was great. My boyfriend ate it with mashed potatoes and saurkraut, I had some with bbq sauce. Fantastic, thanks for posting! *Edit: I just wanted to add that I continue to make and love this recipe. I've had success making a double batch and cooking an extra 15 minutes, I also make meat crumbles out of this by putting it in my food processor. This is good stuff!
