You'll also find out what kinds of coolers, cutting boards, and blenders you can most easily pack into your suitcases. And that's just the beginning. To see it all, check out his newest blog post here:

Steaming tempeh opens up the pores in the cake, allowing deep penetration of flavors when marinated. Use a simple marinade based either on citrus juice, red wine or water mixed with tamari and a small amount of oil. Add herbs or spices to your liking.

Prep Time: 30 to 40 minutes Cooking Time: 3 to 5 minutes Marinating Time: 10 to 20 minutes

8 ounces tempeh
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon
toasted sesame oil

1. Cut tempeh in half lengthwise and then in half crosswise to create four equal pieces. Steam tempeh in a steamer basket over at least 1 inch of simmering water for 15 to 20 minutes.

2. While still hot, place tempeh in a shallow pan in which you've mixed the lemon juice, tamari, water and sesame oil. Marinate pieces for 10 to 20 minutes, turning if necessary to coat the tempeh on all sides. Remove tempeh from marinade. Grill over hot coals until heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Serve on buns or with your favorite side dishes.

Variations: Add minced ginger and garlic to the marinade. If you like barbecue sauce, brush on just before the tempeh is done and continue grilling for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Any longer and it's likely to burn.
