Chili Con Tofu With Beans : page 50
This is the best vegetarian chili recipe. I usually add some corn with the veggies at the end.

Curried Cashew Tofu Over Noodles : page 47
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.

Fajitas : page 72
Good and easy.
"Makes 4-6" it says. We had 1 fat "burrito" each.

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

Green Goddess Dressing : page 39
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.

Penne Rigate with Sweet Red Pepper Sauce : page 109
There's a pic on p97; mine was not as orange as the photo. Good. Served as Main.

Sesame Tofu : page 48
This was easy. OK but a bit boring. A soy sauce/vinegar dipping sauce perked things up.

Spaghetti Primavera : page 46
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

Tofu Foo Yung : page 62
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.
