tofu. 2nd ed. Revised. Berkeley, California: Ten Speed Press.
336 p. May. Illust. by Akiko Aoyagi Shurtleff. Index. 28 cm.
[321 ref]
• Summary: This edition contains a completely new
“Appendix B–Directory of Tofu Makers” (p. 313-316,
updated to 1 Aug. 1998). The page “About the Authors”
(autobiographical) has been updated, and the original
photograph has been replaced with two more recent ones–
refl ecting the fact that Bill and Akiko separated in Nov. 1993
and their marriage ended in May 1995.
After the fi rst printing in Oct. 1998, the Preface was
quite extensively revised (but not updated) to include more
about how this book came into being (early dates and
names), including the important contributions on Jeffrey and
Gretchen Broadbent, and of Nahum and Beverly Stiskin.
These Preface changes fi rst appeared in the second printing
of May 1999.
On page 336 is “The Best of Vegetarian Cooking from
Ten Speed Press” (descriptions of eight cookbooks, with
price and ISBN). The inside rear cover has been updated,
and now includes current information about SoyaScan, the
unique computerized database produced by Soyfoods Center.
This database now contains more than 55,000 records from
1100 B.C. to the present, and more than 73% of all records
have a summary / abstract averaging 128 words in length. A
description of the four different types of records (published
documents, commercial soy products, original interviews and
overviews, and unpublished archival documents), and the
number of each type, is given.
The front and rear covers, title page, table of contents,
and the fi rst page of each section have been redesigned to
give the book a much more contemporary look. Still contains
500 vegetarian recipes–both Western and Eastern style.
Ten Speed Press gave this book a new ISBN: 1-58009-
013-8. Yet despite the many changes described above, the
authors preferred not to have this called a “new edition” or
“revised edition.” Address: Soyfoods Center, P.O. Box 234,
