Soy! Soy! Soy!: Enjoy Soyfoods' Benefits in Delicious Recipes (Simply Healthy)

Rating:
Summary: Not for vegetarians only
Review: This book isn't the most beautiful I've sen artistically, but I have not considered that in reviewing the contents themselves. The cover is different than that shown on amazon.com but the author is the same. Many recipes contain meat and meat juices which makes this less than ideal for vegetarians. However, most of the recipes are moderate to low in fat content and don't contain a painfully long list of ingredients. There are several color pictures throughout the book, but nothing looks intimidating. Most of the ingredients are common. The recipe print is reasonably sized and the recipes are are layed out in a readable fashion. Very few of the recipes call for unnecessary steps in preparation. There are no estimated preparation times, though. This is a good book for people looking to incorporate soy into a standard American foods diet. Most of these are "normal" foods with a few splashes of tastes from other cultures. Recipes include:Blue cheese and tofu spread; crab quesadillas; BBQ tofu bites; Broccoli soup; Potato salad; Tuna salad stuffed tomatoes; Crab Louie; Chicken-tempeh curry; Chicken and roast vegetable pasta; Sloppy joes; Meatloaf; Beef and bean wraps; Schnitzel mit tofu; Garlic and herb mashed potatoes; Toasted pecan and currant muffins; Papaya-strawberry smoothie; Blueberry pancakes; Blueberry coffeecake; Breakfast grits; Soy bacon quiche; Pecan Pie and Berry Cobbler. There is also a list of mail order resources in the back.
