Seriously, it is all about getting the right recipes. At first when we weaned off meat, I tried to replace it with other things or fake meat. But that didn’t really work, so instead of replacing the meat we just made vegetables, beans and grains the stars of the meal. Our cooking also was inspired by many other cultures instead of being heavily American.

I generally use extra firm tofu. I don’t always press it because I forget to plan ahead, but definitely try to get as much water out of it as possible! Extra firm is for grilling and baking, and soft is for purees to get that silky smoothness.

Anyway, I hope that helps! Definitely get a couple of cookbooks. I love Chloe coscarelli’s, and quick fix vegan. The recipes aren’t so intimidating with their favors and ingredients. :)

I watched a ton of movies on Netflix and I’m taking the plant based plunge. I’m doing a juice fast now, but I figured why wait to feed my family good food right? My question is, do you always press your tofu and do you always get “extra firm”? I read the recipe and it didn’t mention either. Thank you!! I’ll let you know how it goes!
