Mmmmm so delicious. Here's a great tofu recipe.
In a large mixing bowl add in 1 pound of tofu, 1 cup of olive oil, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 cup of butter, 16 ounces of lemon juice, and a can of peas. Mix all ingredients together and pour mixture into a pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Place into refrigerator for an hour. Cut and serve.

Yes, put enough butter in anything and it tastes good. Reminds me of a cooking show I saw once where the host was extolling the wonders of celery root. His recipe had a spoon of celery root, a pound of butter, and a pound of cheese. You could substitute cigarette ashes for the celery root and it would have tasted the same :-).
Give it a try
Admitting that you eat and enjoy tofu can be a polarizing experience. Perhaps its Zelig-like quality of taking any shape and form antagonizes people who are more accustomed to readily recognizable foodstuffs. To some cooks, the block of curdled soy with the visual appeal of Flubber offers no clues as to what needs to be done to it. On the flip side, what's not to like about an inexpensive, nutritious and highly versatile ingredient, renowned the world over for helping to keep body and spirit together? Besides, unlike emergency rations, it can be downright delicious. Since tofu — like life — is what you choose to make of it, one day it's laced into pie and the next a faux meat sandwich. Try these five tofu-inspired dishes that even doubters might enjoy. (Text: Enrique Gili)
