I was surprised to see that no one had written a review on this book. I have more than a dozen cookbooks devoted to soy products and this is one of the most impressive. The Author provides ample information about the benefits of soy, but in a very conversational manner. The directions are very simple and straightforward. Many cookbooks I've seen appear to be written by and for a culinary professional, but this one is aimed at home cooks with limited resources. There are some "exotic" ingredients, but most of them are common to your grocery store. Many recipes are low in fat. There are no pictures, but there are none needed. The recipes layouts are very easy to follow and the colors are pleasant to the eyes. Those who cannot see well may be deterred by the medium sized text. Most recipes are vegan. None contain any kind of meat, making this an excellent resourse for vegetarians. There are 170 recipes with many optional variations. Overall, I highly recommend this book. Some recipes are: fresh pea soup; creamy tomato soup; tempeh-fruit salad; Greek tofu salad;tofu curry; tofu-mushroom marsala; tempeh with black bean sauce;vegetable tartlets with herbed tomato sauce as well as lasagnes, puddings, pies, and several recipes calling for fresh, green soybeans (which grow easily at home if you're a gardener) Please look into this book.

I love this cookbook! This book has so many creative and interesting recipes that I think one would never get bored with it. I especially like that the nutritional information is provided for each recipe. For those of you who aren't thrilled about soy, this book has a lot of good ways to help integrate it into your diet. Try it out - I am sure that you will like it!

I'm not one to write reviews. Usually I read other people's reviews and then decide whether to buy. Originally, I discovered this book at my local library and checked it out. Before it was due back, my husband and I made a couple of the recipes and really liked them. About six months later I was back in the cookbook section of the library and recognized this book from our previous encounter. I brought it home again. My husband made the Tofu-Mushroom Stroganoff and that was all it took! We bought this book and everything we have made is easy and delicious. I love to eat. Take it from a real foodie - this book is a great buy.

This book has such a nice variety of soy and tofu recipes. I am so glad I purchased it. If you're looking for a good variety of recipes... this book is one of the best!

This book has some great, easy to make recipes that don't require lots of specialty ingredients. Bought it used and was in excellent condition.
