Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this newly-revised edition of the 25-year-old classic, Hagler (Tofu Quick & Easy, Miso Cookery, Meatless Burgers) finds yet more options for this vegetarian staple. Offering over a hundred recipes for everything from straightforward dips (chive, dill, roasted red pepper and guacamole) to favorites like manicotti, enchiladas, chili, stir-fries and cheesecake, Hagler includes plenty of everyday dishes that cooks will return to again and again. Some dishes, such as the overly complicated Spring Rolls and the stunningly unattractive Layered Casserole, a multilayered earth-toned dish comprised of spinach, tofu with pimentos and mushrooms, are devoid of texture and may give some cooks pause, but the sheer number and variety of entries (a dozen puddings, 16 breads, 18 salad dressings) more than make up for the occasional missteps, and ensure that diners won't get bored.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, September 11, 1999

This review is from: Tofu Cookery (Paperback)

Louise Hagler's books are excellent. I've been using her recipe books over the last 20 years. The recipes are always down to earth and very easy to prepare. Some vegetarian recipe books are too "gourmet" or "exotic" for my family's tastes. These recipes are great for every day of the week and the ingredients don't have to be purchased at a specialty store, just your neighborhood grocery store. My other favorite book by Louise is "The Farm Vegetarian Cookbook".

This review is from: Tofu Cookery (Paperback)

This is a great cookbook with a wide variety of recipes using tofu. The Barbequed Tofu on page 56 and the Enchiladas on the cover are worth the cost of the book by themselves. Each recipe is simple to prepare and exotic ingredients are kept to a minimum.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a "can't do without" cookbook for vegetarians!, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tofu Cookery (Paperback)

I've been a vegetarian for years and have amassed some great cookbooks. But in my opinion this definitely rates as a "must have" for all vegetarians. The recipes are numerous and easy to follow and include tofu recipes for things I would never even imagine.
