Changed my tofu life! 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 15 people found this review helpful.

Although I have always considered myself a tofu fan, my use of it had been limited to fairly typical stir fries or eating it uncooked on its own. I'd never really considered crumbling it up to use in crab cakes, or marinating it and cooking teriyaki style for tofu steaks.

"A Taste of Tofu: Mastering the Art of Tofu Cooking" has opened up a new world of uses for this delicious and nutritious soybean product. The book has recipes for Appetizers, Soups, Just Tofu, Seafood, Poultry, Meats, Vegetables, Salads, Eggs and Cheese, Rice and Noodles and even Desserts. (You know you want to make a tofu cheese cake!) The selection is varied enough that both vegetarians and meat eaters will find value. There is also a good mix of "ethnic" (mainly Japanese) and American-style recipes, some traditional and some original creations.

I was surprised at how authentic the ethnic recipes were, and not "Americanized" The Japanese recipes freely use notorious ingredients like natto and konnyaku and other interesting items. I do wish the author had used the Japanese names for the dishes, as some of the new names she gives them, such as calling Oden "Tofu Casserole" are a bit of a stretch.

There are easy-to-follow instructions on handling and cooking the tofu, which does take some practice. I have had a difficult time draining the tofu properly, but am getting the hang of it more and more with each attempt. There are also some basic instructions on Japanese cooking, such as how to make your own dashi stock and other tips. There is also a glossary of ingredients in the back for some of the more unfamiliar Asian foodstuffs.

So far, I have really enjoyed the "Crabmeat and Tofu Patties," "Spicy Grilled Tofu," "Natto-jiro," "Tofu with Oyster Sauce," "Homemade Tofu Burgers," (Yum!) "Sauteed Shrimp with Hoisen Sauce" and oh...everything I have tried. I haven't hit a bad recipe yet!

Editorial Review:

This book is the 7th in a series of Quick & Easy Cookbooks designed to introduce simple ways to make some of the worlds most interesting and delicious cuisines. Although tofu's popularity is steadily increasing in the West, many people still associate it with bland and uninspired dishes. Quick & Easy Taste of Tofu provides recipes from a variety of Japanese, Chinese, American and European styles that will show the reader how to turn this healthy ingredient into delicious meals. Hundreds of color photographs illustrate the step-by-step instructions and will surely enable everybody to cook tofu with ease and delight.

Editorial Review:

Flavorful and satisfying, Korean cuisine is a tantalizing balance of tastes and textures--fiery peppers are a counterpoint to mild rice, fragrant sesame oil adds a hint of sweetness to meat and vegetables, and pickled kimchi adds zest with its tanginess and crunch. And, best of all, Korean food emphasizes vegetables and grains, making it as healthy as it is delicious.

A nice book for anyone who likes elegant food. The recipes are very easy, use good ingredients and the results are amazingly fancy.. A nice book to give as a gift...busy working women would love this book for entertaining. Easily adaptable to low fat or low calorie.

Editorial Review:

There's magic in the number three. And when it comes to cooking, the number three can create culinary magic in your kitchen. In this fabulous, original collection, three ingredients add up to much more than the sum of their parts.

Choose a simple starter, such as Smoked Salmon Mousse, Very Cheesy Nachos, Mustard-Cured Shrimp, or Chunky Corn Chowder, or go for the main event with Lemon Pepper Chicken, Balsamic-Glazed Sirloin, or Grilled Honey Mustard Pork. There are three-ingredient pasta sauces, delectable vegetables and sides, and even "almost instant" desserts.

Using only three ingredients means less shopping, less preparation, less cleanup -- and best of all, less time. And with the many creative ways author Andrew Schloss has put these together, no one will guess that you haven't slaved for hours in the kitchen. You'll find these recipes exceptionally easy -- and unbelievably delicious.

Delicious, easy recipes 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

I've cooked about half a dozen or more recipes from this cookbook, and all have been simple and fabulous. Each recipe is divided up into "advance preparation" and "last-minute cooking", which means you can do alot of the prep work earlier in the day. Directions are easy to follow, ingredients are not to obscure, and suggestions for salads and side dishes allow you to complete the meal easily. A must-buy for anyone who likes gourmet food but doesn't have a lot of time to cook.

Fine for beginners, Not overwhelming. Good meal ideas. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I looked at lots of cookbooks for beginners, and planned to get Rachel Rays, but found this one and bought it instead for my son and nephew (along with Cooks Illustrated). It has food they like, ingredients that aren't too complicated, pictures to see what they might like to make, and isn't so big as to overwhelm them. Side dishes to complement the entrees are offered at the end of the book. I think this is a good choice for new cooks.

Editorial Review:

At the end of a long day, few of us have time to pore over long, complicated recipes. Here is the perfect antidote - recipes with short ingredient lists and concise instructions that don't sacrifice flavour in the pursuit of efficiency. Stunningly illustrated, Fast Entres features mouth-watering seasonal recipes for fish, shellfish, poultry, pork, beef, pasta, and more.
