Soy Recipes Home-Tested by Prostate Cancer Patients

The PPML Recipe Book Collection of home-tested recipes from members of the Prostate Problems Mailing List. Emphasizes tofu, but not all these recipes are as low in fat as a true low-fat diet requires. Some are bit heavy with canola or soy oil (even lard). Trim the oils and choose lowfat-tofu and soy milk.
