Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

An easy and delicious soup. I used lardons for the meat. We were thinking that chicken sausages would be good, saucisse de volaille or merguez de volaille, cut in quarters lenghtwise, then into little... read more >

Tofu Cookery

By Louise Hagler
Book Publishing Company (TN) - 1991

This is the best vegetarian chili recipe. I usually add some corn with the veggies at the end.

My only note on this says Delicious.

This is an excellent "marinade" for frozen tofu. (Any kind of nut butter can be used.) We thought the recipe served 2-3, but a half recipe served 2 when I added some steamed broccoli florets. A dash of cayenne didn't hurt either. :-)

Frozen tofu notes:
- Thawed frozen tofu looks like a sponge and tastes about the same, but takes up a marinade nicely (e.g., the one it this recipe). Crumbled and cooked, it's rather like ground meat.
- To freeze, makes slices about 1/2" thick and put them in baggies. These will defrost quickly in hot water.

Good and easy.
"Makes 4-6" it says. We had 1 fat "burrito" each.

Unusual. Easy&quick. That's all I wrote.

I suspect silken tofu is what's needed here. I had to double the oil and vinegar to get something slightly less thick than toothpaste. Regular tofu taxed the blender and probably would have resulted in thinner dressing; use the food processor instead. Tasty enough.

There's a pic on p97; mine was not as orange as the photo. Good. Served as Main.

This was easy. OK but a bit boring. A soy sauce/vinegar dipping sauce perked things up.

We like this a lot. Notes:
- Marinating the tofu for 2 hours was not necessary.
- 2 cups of sliced mushrooms, rather than only 1 cup, would be nice

Made a half recipe, with no water chestnus, no yeast, and no flour. Used more than the require amount of shrooms in the sauce. Pretty good, I wrote as a note.

Simple to make and very good. Needs the salt (to taste).
