Tofu has a bland reputation as a food. I hear all the time that people don’t like it. This ‘veganuary’ however you might want to give it another try. There are several textures of tofu: from silken through to soft, medium, firm and extra firm of plain white tofu. Smoked tofu is available from several different companies as well as basil and tomato flavoured tofu. It can be used in savoury or sweet dishes. In Japan they use thick creamy tofu, almost like double cream with a mildly beany taste, for breakfast. In Kyoto last year I went for a set ‘temple’ meal where every dish used tofu differently and deliciously.
