Tofu is a versatile and delicious soy food that can make your vegetarian meals grounding, filling and delicious… if you do it right! Tofu has a bad reputation because it is often cooked improperly. But we’re happy to fix that bad image with our 20 best tofu recipes. Yep, twenty!

Why would you eat tofu? Well, not only is well-made tofu an important staple of vegetarian and vegan cooking, it’s also good source of vegan protein and an excellent source of iron. Always choose an organic tofu (no one wants GMOs, right?), and we recommend you sample the many varieties available from your natural foods store. Most brands offer soft, firm and extra-firm tofu, but the texture (firmness) varies between brands. Try a variety and find which ones you like, and which ones work best for your favorite recipes. Also, note that with few exceptions, these recipes use extra-firm water packed tofu, not the silken variety found in boxes (but that kind is used in the fritatta and in vegan mousses).
