The first half of this book is an account of how the author and his wife, who were hippies during the 1970s, lived in Japan and apprenticed at traditional soy shops. The fascinating account of the history and making of traditional soy foods is enough to justify reading the book alone.
The second half of the book has many wonderful soy recipes. You will learn how to make your own soy milk with nothing but a food processor. How to make your own tofu. How to make your own soy may and other dairy->soy...more

The Book of Tofu is a great resource for people interested in making their own tofu, soymilk, or pretty much anything made from soybeans. It is quite comprehensive and includes histories of the foods and how they were traditionally made (and how they were made in the "modern" 1970s when the book was written). There are also a bunch of recipes which include not only how to make tofu, soymilk, etc, but what to make with the finished products.

I know it's unfair, but I have to take off a star because it is so difficult to find things in the book. It's absolutely packed with recipes and they just run into each other. On the good side, this is the book that taught me how to make my own home-made soy milk and tofu from soybeans.It's a great resource!
If you care about tofu - admittedly a big IF! - then this is a very good resource, especially as a primer on how tofu is made and the different approaches, kinds, and by-products.
I never knew Tofu had such power! This book is great so far. Lots of great Tofu recipes!
