I
keep buying tofu, and then wondering what to do with it, so this title -
101 Things To Do With Tofu
- immediately caught my interest. I know it's a healthy food, but how to make it appealing to my carnivorous family, who tend to look on this pallid foodstuff with disdain?
S
piral-bound with a practical plastic cover, this small book is one of the
101 Things To Do With ...
series of cookbooks, each focusing on one food type. It begins with a chapter of
Helpful Hints
that introduce
tofu
as '
a complete protein food source ... low in calories and saturated fat
' that comes in four varieties -
extra-firm
,
firm
,
soft
, and
silken
. Recipes are organized under:
Appetizers
;
Sauces, Dressings & Spreads
;
Soups & Salads
;
Breakfast
;
Kids' Favorites
;
Main Dishes
;
International Entrees
; and
Desserts
(
Rebirth by Chocolate
anyone?)
T
ofu has been incorporated into many familiar dishes, including
Tofu Hummus
,
Alfredo Sauce
,
Ultimate Veggie Chili
,
Breakfast Burritos
,
Smoothies
, and
Tofu Stroganoff
, as well as a variety of soups and salad dressings. I like the look of
Any Fruit Quick Bread
and
Mix 'N' Match Muffins
- both recipes can make a bunch of different tasty morning treats, by varying the fruits, nuts and spices. Have always loved quiche but avoided it since my husband developed cholesterol problems - the
Tricolor Quiche
here looks both tasty and healthy, as does a
Sublime Spinach Lasagna
and (yumm)
World's Healthiest Brownies
.
I
f, like me, you've wanted to start cooking with
tofu
but wondered where to begin, then
101 Things To Do With Tofu
is a great resource to get you started.
