Happy to report Madrid has the goods…   More details later, but for now, Al Natural is located on Calle Zorrilla, 11 and I’d recommend getting reservations if you’re going for a normal (European) timed dinner.  We went at 9 and it was hard to get in (to be fair, we are a party of five).

Finding Vital Wheat Gluten is actually 75% of the battle.  Try Whole Foods or your neighborhood Co-Op or health foods store.  I usually get Bob’s Red Mill, but I’ve used Arrowhead Mills before too. The ratio of vegetable broth to VWG is the variable in most recipes. … Read more >
