CORN BALLS

2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon tamari
Water

1 onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons oil
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

Mix all ingredients but water until blended. Add water until dough is sticky enough to roll into little ping-pong ball-sized pieces. Do this by dipping your hands in cold water and rolling in in palms. Bake in 375° oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden.

EGGLESS FRENCH TOAST

4 tablespoons soy powder
2 cups water

4 tablespoons tahini
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix ingredients together in blender or wire beater or wire whip. Soak yeast bread in batter and cook on lightly greased griddle until done on both sides. Serve with apple butter.

SAUCES

BASIC WHITE SAUCE

Makes 1 cup

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 tablespoons whole wheat
pastry flour or barley flour

2 tablespoons oil
1 cup water
Tamari

Dry-roast sesame seeds until golden and crumbly when rubbed between fingers. Add flour and oil and roast flour, . stirring constantly, about 5 minutes over medium heat. Slowly add water, whipping all the time with a wire whip (this is the best tool I know to get unlumpy sauce, and they're cheap). Stir with whip until sauce comes to boil and is thick. Turn off and allow to cool a few minutes before adding tamari to taste. This is one of the best grain sauces, vegetable sauces, and just about everything sauces I've found.

TAHINI-ONION SAUCE

1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon oil

1 cup water
Tamari to taste
2 tablespoons tahini

Sauté onion lightly in oil, add tahini and mix and then add water, slowly beating with wire whip until smooth and thick. If, too thick for you, add more water . . . if too thin, add more tahini. Put in tamari to taste and serve on grain or vegetables.
