| Whole Soy Joy | |
| What a pleasure! -- a creative, easy-to-follow, healthy cookbook with recipes that TASTE GREAT! Greenberg leaves no soy question unanswered, from Soy Split Pea Soup to Tofu Tiramisu. The recipes are clear and very innovative, covering ethnic foods from all over the world, like Pumpkin Tofu Cheesecake and Soy Potstickers. Every recipe also provides nutrition information on calories, carbs, cholesterol, fiber, sodium, etc. As a food historian, I appreciate the intelligence and attention to detail in this book and what must have been years coming up with and testing all these creative recipes. An appendix on where to get soy products and information is also very helpful, as are the comparisons between soy products and dairy, other beans, etc. It's a great book for when you want to eat healthy but don't want to compromise on flavor. Mangia! | |
| My favorite vegetarian cookbook | |
| I love this cookbook. My husband is a vegetarian so I try to find recipes that include protein without a lot of fat. The recipes in here are perfect for that. We love tofu and tempeh - as opposed to the heavy cheese and cream dishes many other vegetarian books might have. The cookbook is easy to follow with all the nutritional info at the end of each recipe. It even tells you regular protein plus soy protein content. Most meals are quick to make. I am able to find most ingredients at my local grocery store without a special trip to the health food store. My favorie dishes are the Near Eastern Curried Tempeh, Corn Chowder, and the Soy Sloppy Joes. I recommend this cookbook to anyone, vegetarian or not. | |
| Lots of neat ideas | |
| I bought this cookbook a few years ago when I had just decided to eliminate eating meat/fish etc from my diet. At the time I wasn't "ready" for all the tofu etc but I gradually grew to love it and I'm so glad I keptthis cookbook around. It has so many tasty recipes - there are nice bean salads, hearty stews, a paella, desserts etc. Each recipe has nutritional contents too. One thing that turns some people off is that many of the recipes that are take-offs on previously meat-laden recipes are called by their meat names (e.g. Soy Sausage Potato Chowder or the Soy Meat Loaf). It doesn't phase me though and sometimes helps me to get my husband to try it. Lots of interesting recipes for tempeh. Some recipes (like the curried eggplant) use soy yogurt too. Its a fun cookbook and so far so good in terms of being tasty. Definitely recommend this one! | |
