If you have some tofu, tempeh, or other meat alternative in your fridge and you're not quite sure what to make for dinner, this book is perfect. The recipes are all extremely flavorful and most are quite simple to prepare. Most recipes incorporate easy to find ingredients, but the results are outstanding. I highly recommend this book for new and old vegetarians alike.

I was enthused about this book when I bought it, and have been pleased with how the recipes I tried turned out. However, I have to take issue with the use of the word "Healthful" in the title, because some of the dishes contain too much oil and other fats to be considered healthful in my book. I still managed to get good results while using less oil, etc. than the recipes suggest. The recipes are good, but if you are watching your fat intake, be forewarned.

I have a lot of vegetarian cookbooks but recipe for recipe this one never fails to succeed. The ingredients are simple, the instructions straightforward and the results can't be beat. The author primarily uses tofu, seitan, tempeh and lots of other recipes that use beans, pasta, etc. She has a chapter on one pot meals which is great when you want to keep things simple. The only thing I don't like about this book is the title. The recipes are so outstanding that this is really a gourmet book but you'd never know it from the title!

I was disappointed to see that this book was not advertised as a solely vegetarian cookbook. Though no egg recipes seen so far, give this a miss if you're looking for a guide without all the dairy references

My husband and I have been pursuing a vegan diet for about 7 months. It can be confusing like learning a whole new language. The book "366 Healthful Ways to Cook Tofu" makes it seem very doable. I particularly like the "Introduction", and the recipes are not difficult or overwhelming. Who knew there were so many ways to eat tofu. Great book!

The title of this book is somewhat misleading, there aren't 365 tofu recipes in the book. While there are some very tasty tofu recipes, there are just as many recipes that use tempeh and seitan.
