From Booklist
Finding a good cookbook that treats bean curd respectfully and without relegating it to the extremes of veganism can prove daunting. The Beans, Lentils & Tofu Gourmet offers recipes featuring these items without arbitrarily excluding meat. True, most of the recipes pass vegetarian muster, but others, such as a Creole gumbo, call for chicken stock. Linguini with Tuna, Chuckwagon Beef Shortribs and Beans, and Braised Roasted Pork with Tofu and Green Onions make up more of these combination dishes. Mark Knoblauch
