From Tanya’s Kitchen
Chef Tanya’s seitan and tempeh are ancient in origin, but are lovingly made from scratch each day – and you can purchase them at Native Foods restaurants or right here on the website! Your tempeh and seitan will be shipped, frozen, directly to you. Click here to order.
Seitan (SAY-tahn), a.k.a. “wheat meat” is 100% wheat protein, or gluten. Seitan is a delicate protein source (or meat substitute) that has been a staple in China and near east diets for over 2000 years. It comes in the form of a loaf (similar to a loaf of bread) and can be sliced or cubed for your dining pleasure! (4 ounce serving = 160 calories, 6g fat, 20g protein, 0 carbohydrate, 24mg calcium, 3.6mg iron)
Tempeh (TEM-pay) is made from soybeans, grain and a rice culture. Tempeh is an Indonesian staple that is a sweet, delicate protein source. It is delicious charbroiled, sautéed or fried! (2.5 ounce serving = 174 calories, 6g fat, 19g protein, 11g carbohydrate, 6.9mg iron, and a good source of vitamin B12, fiber and isoflavones!)
Holiday Wellingtons – The Holidays are a dangerous time for turkeys… Save a turkey, order a Wellington! If you want to sponsor or adopt a rescued turkey – or any other farm animal for that matter – visit our friends at the Farm Sanctuary.
Wellingtons are an elegant display of puff-pastry filled with savory Native Seitan, organic spinach, portabello mushrooms, orange glazed yams, fabulous stuffing, caramelized onions and served with shallot mushroom gravy on the side. Wellingtons come frozen and you bake them – they’re ready in 1 hour. Don't tell your guests its vegan - they are in for a pleasant surprise! (Weighs approximately 5 lbs and serves 6 hungry Natives.)
In fact, they are so good, maybe you should order two…

Cook like the Natives!
Chef Tanya has generously gathered the recipes from the Native Foods menu items in one place – in an easy to read format. The Native Foods cookbook is the perfect gift for those friends and family members who aren’t lucky enough to live close to a Native Foods restaurant (until we open one in their neighborhood!). Cookbooks are available at Native Foods restaurants and can also be purchased online. When you purchase from one of our locations, ask if Tanya is available to sign your book – she’d love to do it!
