The Book of Tofu, by William Shurtleff & Akiko Aoyagi, is one of mine...make that two of mine: It turns out there are two vastly different editions!

The 1975 edition includes 250 recipes The 2001 edition has 500 recipes, plus more illustrations, and updated text as well. Here are the ISBN numbers (book ordering ID numbers) of each:


Copyright dates 1975, 1979. ISBN: 0-345-35181-9 Paperback, 432 pages. Ballantine Books : New York. (Small sized book, approx. 4.5 inches x 7 inches)

Copyright dates 1975, 1979, 1983, 1998, 2001. ISBN: 1-58008-013-8 Paperback, 335 pages, but it is a large-sized 8 3/4" x 11" book so a larger amount of text gets packed into fewer pages. (Trust me, I did a page-by-page comparison in the first half of each book.)

If you can only buy one version of the book, buy the bigger book, since it has new added chapters and double the number of recipes printed in the earlier editions (the smaller book size). The big book also contains, for the first time, recipes for Japanese farmhouse tofu, which alone are worth the asking price of this version of The Book of Tofu. Lots of fun.

A few other things to be aware of include (1) the authors' indefensible preference for deep-fried tofu. As those of us who have read the book (and articles printed in Macrobiotics Today) by Dennis Wilmont know, (only available now on his website http://www.willmountain.com/Essentia..._Books_s/1.htm ) deep-frying is not a health-supporting cooking technique. The section on deep-fried tofu in The Book of Tofu is an inexcusable 44 pages, while their other chapters average 10 pages each. (2) Each recipe does, however, use only natural foods, and none requires the inclusion of meat. (3) The original (small book version) edition is still worth having because the newer larger version omits some great recipes borrowed from The Farm, among others (perhaps the permission to borrow those recipes was rescinded)...I own and use both versions of The Book of Tofu.

I'm just starting a macro lifestyle for several reasons which have more to do with searching for a deeper connection with the world around me then trying to achieve perfect health or weight. I would like to find those macros out there who have experienced and appreciated this lifestyle beyond the basic physical benefits. If you are at that point or have the same intentions I welcome your input and advice!
