Tofu Mania: 120 Easy Recipes for the Dishes You Love-With the Added Benefits of Tofu

Inexpensive, high in protein, rich in vitamins, iron, and calcium, low in fat, and free of cholesterol and lactose, tofu is truly a superfood. But some people shy away from the soy wonder because of its pallid appearance and seeming blandness—thinking something so healthy could never taste good. That's where Tofu Mania comes in—it makes cooking with tofu fun and tasty for everyone by showing readers how to incorporate it into their favorite dishes. Unlike tofu cookbooks that call for unfamiliar and hard-to-find ingredients, Tofu Mania adds tofu to such familiar dishes as macaroni and cheese, pizza, mashed potatoes, chocolate cake, brownies, and even whipped cream—without sacrificing great taste or texture. The 120 easy-to-prepare recipes cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as beverages, appetizers, dips, salads, and desserts.
