So you’ve heard of tofu, maybe you’ve read about it, and perhaps you’ve even seen it at the supermarket or hanging around the appetizer table at a party. But even though you know it won't hurt you—and you might even like to be introduced someday—you’ve refrained because you’re just not sure. Well this mysterious food doesn’t have anything to hide…
Let's start at the very beginning of the tofu story.

This recipe is originally from "The Tofu Cookbook" by Becky Johnson. Those cutlets are very healthy, filling and versatile and they freeze well! I will try to include a picture soon but in the meanwhile here is my healthier version of the recipe:
Serves 4
90g / 3,5oz brown rice
15 ml / 1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 garlic clove
200g / 7oz walnuts
small bunch of rosemary or sage
250g/ 9oz firm tofu drained and crumbled
30ml / 2 tbsp soy sauce
1- Preheat oven to 200C / 400F.

This is a quick recipe for a large quantity of tofu so that there are lots of leftovers.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/175 degrees F
Here's what you need:
-large glass or similar baking dish (see picture)
-Package of Tofu (I used 2 blocks so that I can have leftovers)
-1/3 Medium onion or more
-1 head of garlic
-1 inch of ginger or more
-1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
-splash of rice wine vinegar or ume plum vinegar
-sesame oil to cover tofu
-3 stems or so of cilantro/coriander
Optional
-10 cumin seeds
-sprinkle of cumin powder
-2 green (or red) chillies
Chop all ingredients (chop tofu in cubes - see picture), add liquid ingredients and toss together. I usually just mix everything in the dish that I'm using to bake it all in.

Chinese restaurant food draws citicism

WASHINGTON - The typical Chinese restaurant menu is a sea of nutritional no-nos, a consumer group has found. A plate of General Tso's chicken, for example, is loaded with about 40 percent more sodium and more than half the calories an average adult needs for an entire day.
The battered, fried chicken dish with vegetables has 1,300 calories, 3,200 milligrams of sodium and 11 grams of saturated fat.

Nicole Kidman wanted to be a mother in her early 20s, but she had to wait almost two decades before she could experience the miracle of pregnancy.
Now Australia's most famous mum-to-be is relishing the final months before her baby arrives in July. But with her history of miscarriages, she's doing everything in her power to ensure the good health of her unborn baby, including making sure she follows expert advice - no matter how trivial their tips might seem to others.

To most people, this isn't an especially "Savory Sight;" however, today was the first time I've ever made shrimp and frankly, I'm just proud. As a lifer vegetarian I tend to shy away from making fish or meat when I cook for other people, but I was planning on making dinner for my sister and myself tonight and when I said "does stir fry sound okay?" she said "really, veggies again?"
