MORE SOY COOKING By Marie Oser

More Soy Cooking, as its title implies, offers healthful renditions of classic traditional meals by using soy foods. For example, in the appetizer section you'll discover a recipe called Kreato-pitta, which is a phyllo "meat" pie. Tempeh is substituted for meat in this dish. You'll even find two nutritional analyses at the end of each recipe, comparing the new version of the dish to a more traditional version.

Chapters in this book include The Need for a Plant-Based Diet, Soy-Centered Cuisine (including a glossary of soyfoods), and Kitchen Tools, Techniques, and Tofu. Other chapters include Soups and Salads, Entrees, Pasta and Pizza, Selected Sides, and Desserts. Many of the recipes are not quick and easy; however, the results are well worth your time and effort.

More Soy Cooking (ISBN 0-411-37761-9) is published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The book is 307 pages and retails for $16.95. Look for this book in your local bookstore. Reviewed by Debra Wasserman.
