Hi Nick,

 

If you can get it, I've found Lena Leneman's " Tofu Cookbook " to be

reliable. Her Spinach, Mushroom and Tofu Lasagne is rather scummy

and her Braised Tofu is much much MUCH nicer than the tinned stuff

that looks like cheap'n'nasty dog food. I've not tried her tofu

desserts yet... But I intend to!

 

Another good recipe is Rose Elliot's Roasted Tofu and Satay Sauce

from her book, " Vegan Feasts " - also a reliable book.

(By " reliable " , I mean I've found that I can trust the recipes to

work properly first time.)

 

Of course, in the real world, who follows recipe books every night of

the week??? I often use my char-grill pan to cook 1.5 cm thick slabs

of tofu - oil the tofu first. This gives the tofu (and all my other

veggies) stripes and so they look rather cool'n'funky'n'posh.

 

Enjoy! ;-)
