NOTES : The Soy Sisters compiled their recipes into A Tofu Cookbook in an effort

to move tofu into the mainstream. " There's a tremendous misconception about

soy, " says Francene. " You don't have to go vegetarian. The recipes are not

particularly low fat, but they are comfort foods with the added benefits of

soy. " See TIP for ordering the book, A Tofu Cookbook from the Soy Sisters and

Friends.
