What a disappointment

I should have paid better attention to one of the reviews that said the book didn't have nutritional information--the recipes are not all that valuable without it. The book in a nutshell: make fruit smoothies out of silken tofu and add tofu to or use it as a substitute for meat in all of your regular recipes. Oh yeah, and eat a lot of broccoli. I guess that as a vegetarian I wasn't impressed by the uses of tofu, flaxseed, etc.

A life saver

The Menopause Cookbook is one of the finest books on preventive health that I have read. The medical information is concise, relevant, and the author speaks to me like an equal partner. The nutrition information is up-to-date, and is all based on referenced data from reliable sources.

Soy in the diet is not voodoo. It works, and it is healthy for all individuals. Vincent Connelly has worked miracles with soy, particularly silken tofu. I prepared garlic mashed pototatoes, which are made creamy with silken tofu instead of cream, and my husband was fooled. I prepared the "Creamy" Ceasar Salad and could not belive that silken tofu works beautifully as a substitute for oil.

Thank you for this excellent, informative, and delicious book. It is the answer I have been looking for.

Nutrition Information

I liked this book very much, but was disappointed that each recipe did not include nutrition information. I'm always interested in that aspect of a recipe. There are many interesting recipes that I certainly want to try.
