Recommended for:
vegans or vegetarians looking for fluffy new recipes
Read in June, 2008
This cook book has a lot of good ideas if you're into alternative foods and soy products; most of the recipes are written for single-servings, so they're ideal for solo cooks.
However, I didn't make anything from this cookbook: most of the recipes advocate fat-free cheese (or even soy cheese...*shudder*), soymeat subtitutes for real meat, and tofu everything. This is not "real world" cooking: it's escapism from cooking in the real world.
But, not all cooks and eaters are made alike. If thats what you're looking for, then you'll love this cookbook--there are even Weight Watcher points on the website these recipes stem from. Many of the recipes involve microwave cooking and are ready in five minutes or less, so this book will be helpful if you're looking for quick snacks that aren't calorie-laden.
Me? I'll eat pickles instead. It's a no-cooking snack that's pretty awesome-tasting, fat-free, and only dangerous to those who need to lower their sodium intake. Win!
