What is Tempeh?
Like Quorn, Tempeh is a mycelium, root part of a funghi (mushroom).
Despite being available for years in the Far East, it is not as popular as Tofu in the UK. 
You can can find tempeh in Vegan and organic food specialist shops.  Slightly expensive but worth it!

Tempeh can be bland on its own but added as an ingredient can help create the most tasty dishes.
