Summary: Whole Soy Joy
Comment: What a pleasure! -- a creative, easy-to-follow, healthy cookbook with recipes that TASTE GREAT! Greenberg leaves no soy question unanswered, from Soy Split Pea Soup to Tofu Tiramisu. The recipes are clear and very innovative, covering ethnic foods from all over the world, like Pumpkin Tofu Cheesecake and Soy Potstickers. Every recipe also provides nutrition information on calories, carbs, cholesterol, fiber, sodium, etc. As a food historian, I appreciate the intelligence and attention to detail in this book and what must have been years coming up with and testing all these creative recipes. An appendix on where to get soy products and information is also very helpful, as are the comparisons between soy products and dairy, other beans, etc. It's a great book for when you want to eat healthy but don't want to compromise on flavor. Mangia!

Summary: Lots of neat ideas
Comment: I bought this cookbook a few years ago when I had just decided to eliminate eating meat/fish etc from my diet. At the time I wasn't "ready" for all the tofu etc but I gradually grew to love it and I'm so glad I keptthis cookbook around. It has so many tasty recipes - there are nice bean salads, hearty stews, a paella, desserts etc. Each recipe has nutritional contents too. One thing that turns some people off is that many of the recipes that are take-offs on previously meat-laden recipes are called by their meat names (e.g. Soy Sausage Potato Chowder or the Soy Meat Loaf). It doesn't phase me though and sometimes helps me to get my husband to try it. Lots of interesting recipes for tempeh. Some recipes (like the curried eggplant) use soy yogurt too. Its a fun cookbook and so far so good in terms of being tasty. Definitely recommend this one!

Summary: I recommend you pass on this one!
Comment: I have both never written a review and never returned a book before and I have done both for this book. I looked carefully over the variety of soy cookbooks available on Amazon and was particularly pleased with the reviews this book received and so I purchased it.
Unfortunately, when I received the book, I was quite disappointed. The book calls for all sorts of specialty items (soy butter, soy ham, soy yogurt, soy cheese, etc) and then pretty much just uses those soy items in an otherwise normal recipe. Even still, most of the recipies did not sound interesting or appealing.
I would recommend that you try a different soy cookbook... and let me know when you find a good one!
