The Soy Milk Cookbook - by Wu Wen (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Why is soy milk the perfect plant-based alternative to dairy?

Soy milk is not only delicious, smooth and creamy--but extremely friendly to the environment and the only plant-based milk that comes close to offering a protein content similar to dairy. It brings a broad range of health benefits including preventing anemia, reducing the risk of dementia, lowering cholesterol and strengthening the bones.

In this beautifully illustrated book, Chinese cookbook author and teacher Wu Wen shares her great passion for soy milk--a staple of the kitchens in China where she grew up.

Wu presents 55 delicious Asian recipes all based around this incredibly nutritious and versatile ingredient. They include:

• Soy Milk Drinks like Matcha Green Tea with Soy Milk and Soy Milk Cocoa
• Soy Milk Soups like Sweet Potato & Miso Soup, Tofu Soup and Cauliflower Soup with Shrimp
• Delicious Stews like Pork, Clams & Daikon in Soy Milk and Hotpot with Gyoza Dumplings
• Noodle & Pasta Dishes like Pork & Soy Ramen and Crab Udon with Soy Milk
• Chinese-style Porridge like Soy Milk Porridge with Scallops and Black Rice Soy Milk Porridge
• Delicious Desserts like Soy Milk Almond Jelly and Soft Soy Milk Cookies

In addition to the recipes, the author provides a variety of fascinating essays on the health benefits of soy milk and how to maintain an active and balanced lifestyle by applying traditional Chinese health principles.
