You can cook tofu in many recipes that kids and non-vegetarians will happily eat - with rice, quinoa, or pasta, add to salads, or many desserts.
When cooked, tofu is a binding and thickening agent, as in tofu burgers, or tofu quiche. For that reason, silken tofu is often used in vegan baking as an egg substitute.
Tofu can be soft and crumbly, for tofu scrambles, tofu sloppy joes or lasagna. It becomes firm and crisp when marinated and fried or baked.
Tofu is convenient, filling, and a great protein rich food - but if you don't like it or can't eat it, don't worry. Tofu isn't the only way to get enough protein in your vegetarian diet. Whole grains, nuts & seeds, and lentils & beans are all great protein rich foods.
