Answer 1

I cut the block of tofu length wise into 1/2 inch slabs & marinate in good seasons Italian salad dressing, grill it & serve as sandwiches.  I also cube it &  fry it until golden brown on all sides.  Served with a spicy peanut sauce thai style. To make the peanut sauce I use peanut butter & red pepper flakes with a bit of water to thin it out, simmer for 5 minutes.  Yummy!  Silken tofu mixed with cocoa powder and brown rice syrup blended into a custard, makes a yummy vegan pie filling

I used to hate tofu, but now I love it. There's a great book you could check out at the library, called the Tofu Cookbook. You could get a packet of miso soup at the grocery store and heat that up, it's in the oriental section usually, and it has tofu.

I also enjoy tofu scramble:

You can edit as you wish, say you don't like mushrooms, take those out and add something else if you'd like, like tomatoes.

Fried tofu is also really good.

Answer 3

You can buy tofu in any decent supermarket, check the produce section or ask an employee.

There's a variety of types of different firmness. Generally, you'll probably want firm or very firm. Silken is nice for smoothies or deserts that use tofu.

Tofu is basically tasteless by itself: it absorbs whatever you cook it in. So it should be marinated in soy or teriyaki sauce (for example) and then stir-fried, pan-fried, or baked in the oven.

Vegetarian books and websites are full of recipes with tofu.
