The Tofu Cookbook

Tofu is an essential ingredient for modern living. Not only is it low in fat and high in protein -- and thought to lower cholesterol -- it is also delicious and incredibly versatile, complementing vegetables, meat, chicken and seafood. This fabulous book opens with an informative introduction to tofu and tofu-related products. As well as providing nutritional information, there is a comprehensive techniques section with tips on preparing and cooking with tofu. With over 60 easy-to-cook recipes in this collection, there is something for every occasion. To start your meal, try minestrone soup with tofu, or go for something a little more unusual such as Thai tempeh cakes with sweet dipping sauce. Main meals include vegetarian dishes such as roasted vegetable and tofu pasta and Mexican tortilla wraps, as well as non-vegetarian options such as pork and tofu croquettes, and salmon fillets with a lemony tofu sauce. The final chapter includes tempting desserts, from tofu cheesecake to carrot cake. Each mouthwatering recipe is photographed in color and step-by-step instructions ensure that every dish is a success. Book jacket.
