Soy goes mainstream. The soybean has gone mainstream! Soyfoods are big, big, big with baby boomers. This new book contains more than 120 healthful recipes featuring soyfoods in various forms, from old-reliable tofu, to miso, green soybeans, canned soybeans, meat analogs made from soy, soy milks, tempeh and more. In many of the recipes, soy is a healthful "secret ingredient" that cannot be detected in the dish by flavor or texture. This is an all-purpose cookbook featuring the versatile bean for those who want to incorporate the healthful benefits of soy to a greater extent in their diet, but who may not wish to become completely vegetarian. Sources for soy products are included in an appendix section, but an abundance of soy products are already available at any local grocery store. The recipes here are "mainly meatless," but not completely so. Neither does cooking with soy mean "Chinese" every night. SAMPLE RECIPES
