Summary of The Complete Soy Cookbook

Soy to the World! At last the soybean comes of age. 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 vast: 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. Here are recipes that gourmet palates will love. From appetizers, such as Roasted Red Pepper Hummus; to soups, such as Curried Corn and Pepper Chowder; salads, like Two-Bean Salad in Walnut Vinaigrette; entrees, including Spicy Cashew Stir-Fry and Vegetable Tartlets with Herbed Tomato Sauce; even such desserts as Lemon Mousse and Caramel Custard, these are recipes you will want to prepare for their superb taste. These 170 exciting new vegetarian recipes prove that cooking for good health means eating for great taste. The Complete Soy Cookbook Praise for The Complete Soy Cookbook "A stroll through the pages of The Complete Soy Cookbook will inspire even the most hardened soy skeptic to give tofu and soy milk a whirl. The book is a treasure. Its pages are jammed with recipes for beautiful, delicious, and healthful foods?a testament to how satisfying and beneficial today's simply prepared soy dishes can be." ?Suzanne Havala, M.S., R.D., F.A.D.A., nutrition advisor for the Vegetarian Resource Group and author of Shopping for Health and Simple, Lowfat & Vegetarian "With all of the emphasis being placed on the importance of soy products in our diets, this imaginative and comprehensive book will be a valuable addition to every kitchen library. Like all of Paulette Mitchell's other books, the recipes in this one are well written and easy to follow." ?Jeanne Jones, syndicated columnist and author visit us online at http://www.mgr.com
Is lack of time your excuse for not using soyfoods to prepare healthy food? Preparing delicious, healthy food using soy is easier than you think. Author of the 15-Minute Gourmet series, Paulette Mitchell has become accustomed to efficiency in the kitchen. In The Complete Soy Cookbook, she continues the quick but healthy trend in cooking using soy. As she notes, "the recipes rely on the imaginative use of ingredients rather than elaborate techniques."

Mitchell includes a description of soyfoods and the facts regarding soybeans as they relate to many of today's primary health concerns. Learn how to make soy part of your healthful lifestyle using a variety of ingredients, including different types of tofu, tempeh, and soybeans (dry, canned, and fresh). The Complete Soy Cookbook provides recipes suited to every occasion, from quick weekday meals to elegant entertaining. The style is best described as fusion cooking: Mitchell blends elements of many diverse cuisines in her book.

"This culinary chameleon truly is one of the most versatile foods on earth," Mitchell writes, and it's evident in recipes such as curried sweet Potato Soup, Tofu-Mushroom Stroganoff, Tempeh Paella, Tofu Tiramisu, Soybean Bourguignonne, and Tempeh Strips and Broccoli with Ancho Chili Sauce. "I became determined to take a gourmet approach and turn meatless mealtime into vegetarian dining," notes Mitchell. All of the 150 simple yet flavorful recipes are vegetarian, most are also dairy-free, and a nutritional analysis is included with each. --Gretel Hakanson
