Trumpeting good health with Tootie's Tempeh
Tempeh originated in Indonesia and is a staple protein for many cultures. It has an earthy, nutty flavor and firm, nubby texture (the cooked beans are visible in the pressed cake). Tootie's makes traditional and curry-seasoned tempeh (about $7 for 8 ounces). 'Think of tempeh as another protein,' says Speare. You can marinate it (or not) and prepare and cook it in various ways. You can slice it as thin as bacon or as thick as a burger patty and saute it; pan-fry little squares like chicken nuggets; and crumble and brown it like ground meat for tacos, chili, stuffed peppers, or to make meatballs. Like tofu, says Speare, 'it will take on whatever flavoring you give it.' In case you're wondering about the company's name, Tootie was Sarah's late mother's nickname because she called everyone 'Toots,' says Speare. Tootie was an early supporter of the environmental movement back in the 1960s and '70s and Speare has capably followed in her footsteps.

Inspiration and recipes in ‘Our American Dream Cookbook'
Among the trailblazers is Amie Kesler of Carolyn's Krisps in Chicago, who launched her vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free cheddar crackers using her grandmother's recipe and the program's support. Her white bean dip with roasted red peppers can pair with any cracker. Boston-area companies include Kristine Cortese and David Warner of City Feed and Supply in Jamaica Plain, who offer their tangy pickled green tomato recipe, and Heather Higgins Yunger of Top Shelf Cookies, whose OFD — Oaty, Fudgy, Delicious — cookies live up to their name. Then there's Carlene O'Garro, the Boston native behind Delectable Desires Pastries, whose heartfelt journey is inspiring — and whose lemon raspberry cake with vanilla buttercream recipe is worth the effort. Advertisement The book wraps up with a nod to its roots — beer — offering a five-step guide to evaluating a brew. You might see the book as a tribute to Jim Koch's vision of combining business success (he began brewing Samuel Adams beer over 40 years ago) with social impact, but it's also a good read, especially for anyone dreaming of starting their own venture. $30.
