Get shopping: Shopping for vegan items is easier than ever because many items on grocery shelves are marked with either a "V" in a circle (Vegan Action; vegan.org) or a "V" with a daisy growing out of it (from the Vegan Society, vegansociety.com) on the label.Tofu demystified: Cookbook author Brook Katz of Coconut Creek explains that when shopping for tofu, use the silken for dips and smoothies; firm for replacing eggs and cheeses; and the extra-firm for replacing meats.The recipes on this page use some ingredients with which you might not be familiar. Here's more information:Bragg Liquid Aminos: A protein concentrate derived from soybeans

that contains 16 essential and nonessential amino acids in naturally occurring amounts.

Nutritional yeast: It is a deactivated yeast produced by culturing the yeast with a mixture of sugar cane and beet molasses, then harvesting, washing, drying and packaging the yeast. It is available in flakes or as a yellow powder similar to cornmeal. It can be used as an ingredient or sprinkled on as a condiment. Naturally low in fat and sodium, it is a source of protein and vitamins, especially B-complex.Cookbooks: If you are interested in purchasing the two books that M. Butterflies Katz helped produce for Gentle World, here's where to find them:New Favorites ($11.95) by Brook Katz can be purchased from The American Vegan Society (americanvegan.org/contact.html). Incredibly Delicious; Recipes for a New Paradigm ($17.95) by M. Butterflies Katz at Gentle World can be purchased from many online stores or from Gentle World (gentleworld.org).
