Negative Positive
Title: Good idea, terrible result
Review: This book must have been rushed to press with very little, if any, testing. The author clearly recycled existing conventional recipes, substituting some soy flour in place of wheat flour. To truly succeed in baking with soy ingredients, you need to compensate for the taste and behavior of the soy flour. In my experience making these recipes, they all need adjusting and doctoring. She routinely leaves salt and vanilla out of the recipes, or calls for much too little salt. They generally lack flavor.Additionally, the table of contents and index are next to useless. Every recipe is named "Soy something-or-other" which makes it tedious to find what you're looking for. I was thrilled to find this book initially, but am now beyond disappointed with it. If I feel like baking something new, I might look at this book, but I never bake from it. I find better recipes for free on the web.
