Überzeugt mich von Tempeh!

Meine go-to Eiweiß-Quelle ist (wie für die meisten hier würde ich mal behaupten) Soja. Ich liebe Tofu und setze ihn überall ein (Nein, ich habe nicht gerade 4kg Tofu im Kühlschrank stehen, die wir auch niemals innerhalb der nächsten zwei Wochen aufessen werden) - Aber Tempeh habe ich bisher nicht so hingekriegt, dass ich ihn mag. Dabei ist die Konsistenz eher das Problem als der Geschmack, denke ich. Ich habe versucht ihn wie Speckstückchen in einen Wirsingauflauf zu machen, und habe ihn dafür kleingeschnitten, angebraten und mit dem Wirsing in den Ofen geschoben, ich habe ihn gedünstet und als zusätzliches Protein in ein Dal Tadka geworfen und ich habe ihn in einer süßen Sojasauce-basierten Marinade braten/kochen lassen. Er war einfach eher krümmelig und nicht besonders toll. Ich habe Tempeh von Rewe Bio gekauft. Ist es das Produkt? Die Zubereitung? Oder mag ich einfach Tempeh nicht? Vielen Dank für euren Input!

Why do film adaptations of musicals seldomly cast trained broadway / west end singers?

Hey there, people! I've always wondered why so many film adaptions of musicals (especially Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera, though) really don't seem to lay a focus on casting people which can do the songs justice... I've got the feeling that the focus was more on the acting skills and I've heard the argument before that they get singing coaching beforehand, but why not simply cast the experts from the musical theatre industry? I know that acting on stage is vastly different from on camera, but I think it would not be as noticeable as the difference in their singing skills. Is it the popularity factor of the actors?

Epic Fantasy Romances with Jaw-Dropping Foreshadowed Twists / Uncovering of Secrets

Hey everyone! My favourite part about reading is puzzling over why something happened the way it did, and finding out later all my theories have been wrong and the true answer has been foreshadowed all along. Perhaps we can create a list of epic fantasy romances which do this a lot together, I'll even start ;) Please only recommend books which are indeed Epic Fantasy (or High Fantasy at least) and in which the characters behave naturally - Meaning the protagonists don't fall in love with each other within a page (after being enemies, for example) and nobody behaves as though they only do it so that the intended plot works.

So, here is my list:

  • {Kindred's Curse by Penn Cole} - Penn is the queen of this kind of foreshadowing. Some of the behaviour of a few of the characters may seem weird in the first book, but it will make sense later on! Beware, though: The protagonist can be quite immature at times.
  • {Rook & Rose by M. A. Carrick} - While most of the secrets (not all!) are known to the reader, it is so cool to see the characters puzzle over the secrets and coming to wrong conclusions at first, until they gain more information. It's such a great read, and the book series is complete.
  • {Maggie The Undying by Illona Andrews} - I never thought that I would ever enjoy a portal fantasy, but that one is perfect. While definitely a fantasy romance, I didn't find the part after the big >!identity reveal !<particularly romantic, but there are enough coming books to make up for it! The complexity of the world is chef's kiss.
  • {Runewitch Saga by Lisette Marshall} - I only enjoy reading books in the first person narration if we indeed get all the important information going through the protagonist's head: The big plot twist in, for instance, The Prison Healer thus ruined the whole book for me, because it should not have been a twist, we should have already been aware of the fact. Here, we have a plot twist we would suspect to already be aware of in the first person narration, but it makes sense that we are not since the protagonist tried to suppress any thought about that part of her past herself, making it an even cooler twist.
  • {Verran Isles by Madeline Taylor} - There are a lot of obvious twists, but the ones which are not are so, so good! I can't recommend this book enough!
