Tofu Quick & Easy

Summary: Tofu _can_ be great!
Review: I must admit that I have not read this book, but I felt compelled to comment on Barbara's claim that tofu is necessarily bland and uninteresting. This is simply not the case. I have had tofu in Thai, Malaysian and Laotian cuisine that is nothing short of mouth-watering and superb (and I eat meat as well!). I have to conclude that it is all in the know-how. Whether this book delivers will remain to be seen....

Summary: Recipes To Make Dull Tofu Tasty
Review: It's hard to like tofu, though it's a bargain protein food. This little cookbook has many truly quick and easy recipes to liven up the stuff and make it interesting and tasty. (I think delicious is too much to hope for under any circumstances.) Directions are easy and straightforward, good for someone who doesn't want to spend her life in the kitchen. Ingredients used in recipes are easy to find on supermarket shelves. Tofu-Raspberry pudding is going to become my favorite low-fat, low-carb dessert!

Summary: Slim volume, but quick, easy, and delicious!
Review: Tofu - Quick and Easy is a small cookbook packed with a bounty of wonderful recipes. The introduction provides the cook with nutritive values, cooking times, purchasing, marinating, and freezing tofu. The chapters that follow include: breakfast or brunch, dips and spreads, salads and salad dressings, soups, main dishes, and desserts. In the breakfast chapter, two of the offerings are pancakes and mushroom quiche. Both recipes are delicious ways to enhance protein intake. The dips and spreads are delectable! Pesto dip, curry-chutney, cashew spread (my favorite!), and horseradish. There are more than thirty salad and salad dressing recipes! Soups! I love chunky gazpacho! Lentil Soup! Pumpkin Soup! Spinach, and eight more choices! Main dishes? Yes! and wonderful! Amandine tofu! Oh, my goodness, mouth-watering! Enchilada casserole! Lasagne! And I LOVE this! Spring Rolls! Hawaiian Stir Fry! Scrumptious!! And many more fabulous main dishes! All deliciously filled with protein, minute amounts of fat! and low calories!!The dessert section is magnifico!! Mangia, mangia!!! Out of this world cheescakes, chocolate marble pie! Raspberry pudding, apricot pudding, creamy cookie pudding! Yum!! What a fantastic, small gem this tofu cookbook is!!
