[Guest guest]

Hi Thia

Yes most of the dessert recipes feature tofu - they seem like Special

Occasion desserts to me. I think this reflects the difference between

American and British diets. I believe that you tend to eat more

flashy desserts which perhaps need tofu to reproduce them for a vegan

diet whilst we eat more fuit pies, crumbles or cakes and puddings

that can be created using egg replacer rather than tofu. I think

that vegetarians and vegans in the US tend to eat a lot more soya

products than has been usual here. I eat tofu perhaps 6 times a year

and I don't take soya milk. I have 3 vegan cookbooks and none of the

UK ones feature much in the way of soya products.
