It talks about how the fermented soy foods are really good for you (like tempeh and miso), but how the others are really bad. Especially (I hate to say this Crunchy) soy milk. Check out Utne or "The Whole Soy Story:The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food" by Kaayla Daniel.

I am hesitant though, I may try making it a little more rustically like the method described by Lamzeydievey.<BR/>P~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13403847624491620709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-61349384670026620742007-06-25T02:34:00.000-07:002007-06-25T02:34:00.000-07:00Hello, I've just discovered this blog and will be ...Hello, I've just discovered this blog and will be back for regular reading. I've eated tofu all my life, and might try my hand at making it after reading this post. Recipes: tofu is so versatile, you can eat it raw on sandwiches, baked, fried, in pasta sauces, stirfried, deepfried, frozen - then in soups, etc... I love baking it with fresh garlic, ginger, chilli + tamari, bit of water, sesame oilelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094544175392775835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-31123839102437839812007-06-23T22:45:00.000-07:002007-06-23T22:45:00.000-07:00To answer a few questions:I got the soymilk maker ...To answer a few questions:<BR/><BR/>I got the soymilk maker via Amazon - it was about $50 cheaper. <BR/><BR/>I get the soybeans from our local co-op.

There are soft, hard, mild and sharp variations. I remember eating "bleu tofu" with my breakfast rolls- just as a flavoring agent, a little bit on a chopstick, spread on the roll, is how they did it.<BR/><BR/>Kids in particular tend to go "ick" when you say "tofu soup today!"
