[.ca] Tofu Cookery (ISBN 0913990760)

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.

This is money well spent!!!:
This cookbook is great ! very tasty, with so much flavor. My whole family of meatlovers love when I make something from this cook book! I tried some recipies at a get together at my house. I wanted to test how good the meals really were; so I didn't tell them I was cooking with tofu. Imagine their supprize when I told them; after they asked my for my recipe of course.

Great help in order to be a vegetarian:
Many useful recipes, from making basic tofu to a tasty ice cream. Good explanations, good information, very good pictures and easy to follow recipes. The results are splendid ! It is a must in any vegetarian home library.

Comfort food veggie style!:
There are lots of pictures in this book which is great - all in color. The funny thing is every time I pick it up it reminds me of my childhood - I think its because the photographs have a 70's early 80s look (which is appropriate since that's when the book was first published). The recipes are comfort type foods like Tofu cutlets, falafels, tofu loaf, tofu Foo Young, lasagne, casseroles, sweet & sour tofu, etc. Maybe not everyone would call them comfort foods but they really remind me of the foods we had growing up (except in these versions without the animal parts). I've only tried a few recipes here and there (e.g. Spinach souffle, baked tomatoes, sloppy joes and a few others) but they've all been good so far and the pictures really are great.

Been using this basic cookbook for years . . .:
. . . and after while, the recipes all start to taste the same. On the whole, though, this is a good de-mystifier for those who are a bit afraid of tofu. The "cheesecake", "Mayonnaise", "hollandaise sauce," and "eggless egg salad" are staples in my home. Well worth adding to any cook's library.
