4.0 out of 5 stars Tofu that tastes good? YUP!, May 2, 2000

I originally borrowed this book and after trying a few of the recipes, just had to have it. I couldn't believe that tofu could taste this good! Anyone can use this book and even disquise tofu so your "No I would never eat that friends" can be tricked into changing their minds! Give it a shot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great easy recipes, November 20, 2006

By

This review is from: The Tofu Cookbook, New Edition: Over 150 Quick and Easy Recipes (Paperback)

I really like this cookbook. The recipes taste great and are often acceptible for non vegetarians as well. I love that they are easy to make and use ingredients that I usually have on hand.

There are some minor annoyances with the bi-cultural aspect of the cookbook. The author tries to make the book suitable for both British and American English speakers, and this results in 1 chili (chilli) etc. On the other hand: I really like the fact that the author gives both metric and imperial measurements and says that you can use them interchangeably. I like to measure some things in tablespoons/cups and other things in grams. This cookbook is the only one that lets me do that.

This is truly a recipe book, not a book that goes into great detail about nutrition and vegetarianism. The recipes, with the exception of the desserts, are healthy, using whole foods. You can usually easily reduce the oil and/or salt to make them even more healthy. I do wish the author would use more vegetables, or give options to make meals richer in vegetables by listing possible vegetable side dishes.

I highly recommend this cookbook if you want to use more tofu in your diet. If ingredients like "sea salt" put you off and you do not think to just use regular salt instead, this cookbook may not be for you though.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so quick and Easy, April 19, 2004

By 

Laurie M Sheffield (Yucaipa, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tofu Cookbook, New Edition: Over 150 Quick and Easy Recipes (Paperback)

I got this hoping that it would fit into my busy lifestyle. Well, there are only a few recipes that are both quick and easy. On top of that I was looking to add tofu to the list of things I eat, not replace every kind of dairy product with a soy product. So, if you have time to go shopping for not so common ingredients like sea salt, have a liquidizer, and are a vegan, this book would be perfect for you.
