Amy said: "I have only had tofu a few times and I had this recipe in both your Crunchy Sesame Cabbage Salad and Peanut Butter Noodles. I have to say that the Crunchy Sesame Cabbage Salad with this tofu is delicious! I've tried it in the air fryer and the oven and so far I prefer the oven, but I'll try it pan fried next time to compare all three." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love learning new recipes that do not require meat. I have a health issue with my kidneys that strains if I eat too much meat so I'm only supposed to get about half of what a grown woman would normally get. I eat a mainly vegetable diet now. However I do love fish and seafood and will indulge in that once in a while, because I need iron and selenium. I'm learning new ways to cook and enjoying the journey.
Sam Turnbull @ It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken says
I love that you’re enjoying learning new ways to cook, Genie! 💚 I hope you find lots of delicious plant-based recipes here to try along the way!

You should try some of Sam's vegan fish and seafood recipes. They are absolutely horrible; I never liked fish or seafood, but apparently, according to my Mr., they taste just like it. Transitioning to a plant-based diet is such an exciting move, and nature has you totally covered! Many vegan foods pull double duty, giving you a wonderful dose of both iron and selenium at the same time: Tofu & Edamame: Super versatile and packed with both nutrients. Lentils & Chickpeas: Perfect for a hearty, iron-rich protein swap.Pumpkin & Sunflower Seeds: Easy to sprinkle on anything for a quick boost.Whole Grains: Oats, quinoa, and brown rice are excellent daily staples. It doesn't taste like chicken has easy and creative recipes using all of them.
