Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Tofu, a natural protein staple in the Orient for centuries, has carved a niche for itself on the American table. There's the health reason, of course -- it seems to reduce the danger of cancer. But that's not the main reason Americans are eating more tofu. When cooked correctly, it tastes wonderful -- it absorbs all the flavor from gravies and sauces at the same time it adds its own silky texture.
Tofu Goes West offers all Americans an opportunity to incorporate tofu into their everyday diets. We are not asking them to change their habits. We say sincerely that Americans who have remained aloof from the tofu craze will honestly be pleased by these recipes which combine tofu with their favorite foods and seasonings to create western style main dishes, breads, and desserts.
For instance, Spaghetti Sauce, Tofu Pan Pizza, Stuffed Peppers, Pineapple Almandine Pie, the list is long and, ultimately, life saving and delicious.
Gary Landgrebe has taught many cooking classes. He is proud he has permanently changed people's view of tofu.
