The Complete Soy Cookbook

by Paulette Mitchell

In The Complete Soy Cookbook, Paulette Mitchell, veteran cooking teacher and author of the popular 15-Minute Gourmet series, proves that you can have your health and great taste too! Soybeans and the products made from them - tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and soy flour - are the perfect, tasty additions to the diets of discerning eaters.
It is no secret that soy's health benefits are Soy has been shown to fight and prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, and relieve the symptoms of menopause. What has never before been so clear, however, is that foods made from the soybean can be delicious. They go well with every kind of flavoring - herbs, spices, vibrant marinades - and, when prepared according to Paulette's inspired recipes, are suited to every occasion, from quick weekday meals to elegant entertaining.

Has a few good recipes - I use it more for rough ideas than to follow the recipes exactly. Many of the recipes incorporate pre-packaged soy products into a recipe rather than working with a raw ingredient and giving advice on how to prepare it to give the desired effect. In a few of the recipes, the soy ingredient even seems to be a kind of afterthought. If you like easy cooking and are curious about soy, but have never tried it, this is a decent beginner's book.
