Tofu is not a meat substitute,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tofu! Tofu! Tofu! - Chinese Style (Paperback)
As an Asian-American I grew up with tofu and loved it, and I could never understand why my American friends thought it was disgusting. Then I tried tofu recipes from American cookbooks that used it as a substitute for meat (among other things) and I realized where they were coming from. Tofu is NOT a meat substitute, and should not be used in cheesecake, milkshakes, etc. Using it in that way is setting yourself up for disappointment.That said, this tiny cookbook is a good basic cookbook of (mostly) traditional chinese tofu dishes. Quite honestly, if you are not used to tofu you probably won't find this book very appealing. However, if you are like me (a second generation Chinese young adult who can't read Chinese cookbooks but who wants traditional - not Americanized - dishes) this tofu cookbook probably fits the bill. The other Wei-Chuan cookbooks are pretty good bets too.

Best Tofu Book I've Found!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tofu! Tofu! Tofu! - Chinese Style (Paperback)
If you're a vegan or vegetarian and love Chinese food, this is the best cookbook around. The recipes are just delicious! And relatively simple. Be prepared to find some dead animal ingredients, but a highly satisfiable experience in general. All of my favorite tofu recipes from Chinese restaurants are in here.To the reviewer who poo-poos tofu in cheesecake, you haven't had a good tofu cheesecake!
