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
