 Excellent |
| 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". |
| Even my children like these recipes |
| I bought this book two years ago and I use it about once a week. Most of the recipes are easy to follow and delicious, not fancy. favorites are the potato tofu salad (No one believes that it doesn't contain mayo!) tofu turnovers,EASY fried tofu,(put in a sandwich it tastes a lot like chicken)and Korean Barbeque Tofu - in this recipe I cook the tofu first, until it is tough and then I marinate it, not the other way around. The almond tofu is great as well. If you want to eat more tofu and don't know how to fix it, this is the book for you. There are dips and desserts too, but I haven't made many of those yet...just keep making my favorites over and over. |
 Tasty but time consuming... |
| I agree with other reviewers that this is a nicely illustrated book with plenty of recipes for those who are new to tofu. The recipes I have tried have been mostly quite tasty (I especially liked the Enchiladas and Barbecued Tofu). However, many of the recipes are very time consuming and/or require frozen tofu, which you may or may not have on hand when thinking about what to make for supper. I like to experiment with these kinds of meals once in a while, but for the most part, I prefer things to go relatively quickly. Nothing worse than spending a lot of time on a recipe (the To-fu Yung one in this book comes to mind) only to have it turn out so-so. Nonetheless, I do think it's a valuable book to those looking for new ways to prepare tofu. |
