Thehome preparation of raw gluten from whole wheat flour (7 cups of flour producing 2 cups of gluten) is described for use in meatless recipe preparations. In addition to Americandishes, recipes for preparing simulated dishes of 13 countries are given, including Mexico, England, Latin America, Africa, and other countries of Europe and Asia. Basic dishes using gluten are initially discussed as substitutes for beef types (cutlets, steak, hamburger), poultry, seafood, and cereal, alternative forms of which areused in subsequent recipes.

'Where are you going dressed like that?'; 'I never did that at your age'; 'You were such a lovely baby.'; 'Where did I go wrong?'Ring any bells? If you've ever been exposed to the teenage maelstrom of hormones, angst, fear and anger you'll recognise the sentiments. But what about the mothers? Who helps them to help themselves, and their daughters? For the first time, mothers talk with humour, pathos, candour, insight and, ultimately, optimism about rejection and separation, love and sex, drugs, alcohol, menstruation and the mother-daughter bond.
