Nobody in the history of time has ever felt so-so about tofu. They either love it (it totally takes on the taste of anything you use to flavour it, which is awesome!) or hate it (it's just, like, a gross sponge!). For those of you in the latter column, get ready for a tofu attitude adjustment ... includes 40 easy recipes that take into account what the haters dislike - texture, smell, taste - to help them open their minds and change hate to love ... Healthy, heart-smart, and inexpensive, tofu has a lot to recommend it. You'll find milk, honey, cheese, mayo and more non-vegan stuff like that in here. Maybe even the occasional crumble of bacon. But wherever he can, the author points out possible substitutions if you want to eat vegan. The point of this book isn't to avoid meat, it's just to add another option into your repertoire - a high-protein, low-fat, low-carb, low-cholesterol, gluten-free, calcium-rich, inexpensive, readily available option that also happens to be really easy to work with.
