On Wednesday 3 May, the RVV monthly meeting became our first cookery demonstration, thanks to the culinary skills of Liz Hughes from Birmingham Veggies & Vegans. Liz started by showing us the different types of Tofu that are readily available(silken, smoked, marinated, fermented etc), what the differences are, which dishes to use them in and where to get them.

She then prepared 5 mouthwatering dishes including Sizzling Fajitas, Breakfast Scramble and Chocolate Pudding. As Liz worked away, she talked us through what she was doing and what ingredients were used. After watching Liz expertly prepare them, all of the delicious dishes were available to sample, and they didn`t disappoint!!

Take a look at our gallery of photos from the cookery demo. All of the tofu recipes prepared by Liz, plus 2 more & a full list of the types of tofu available, can be viewed in PDF format and printed off here

For people interested in getting further recipes and ideas, Liz suggested the following books as ideal, The Tofu Cookbook (left) by Leah Lenaman, and Vegan (right) by Tony Weston and Yvonne Bishop (published by Hamlyn).
