I lived and breathed tofu and other soy products while developing the recipes for both books. Several years later, I am still cooking with it because I firmly believe in its health benefits and because it is cheap and so easy to add to any dish. At the age of 61, I feel and look great (so I'm told!), have good bone density, and enjoy general good health. Genes play a part, no doubt, but I can't help but give some credit to my soy-rich diet.
