Tofu like you've never seen...or tasted!

You've heard all the raves about the wonders of soy: it's low-sodium, low-fat, and cholesterol-free. You want to incorporate it in your diet to improve your lifestyle, but when you see a big brick of tofu sitting in your supermarket, you find yourself asking, "What on earth can I do with it?" Or maybe you already cookwith tofu, but are stumped when it comes to finding new ideas and dishes to try.

Now Tofu 1-2-3 comes to the rescue with 125 classic recipes that show you just how versatile—and tasty—tofu can be. Imagine Blueberry-Buckwheat Pancakes and Sloppy Joes that are just as good as the ones your mom used to make. Discover contemporary flavors in dishes like Beer-Battered Coconut Tofu with Apricot-Dijon Dipping Sauce, Teriyaki Wrap, and Garden Vegetable Chili with Kale and Black Beans. From great-tasting smoothies and creamy soups to super salads, main dishes, and desserts (even Chocolate Mousse!), this book will show you that tofu means more than just stir-fry.

Complete with nutrition information and easy-to-follow advice on buying and cooking with different types of tofu, this guide is a must-have for anyone interested in taking healthy eating to a whole new level.
