Tofu is rather tasteless, which makes it very versatile!. It's made from soybeans, which are turned into a "milk" (that's what soy milk is) and then coagulated into a jiggly block!.
There are two kinds of tofu: Chinese tofu is water-packed, and you find it in the refrigerator section of some stores or the produce section of others!. It's typically grilled, baked, fried, sauted!. Freezing Chinese tofu changes the texture and makes it chewier!. In fact, I store my tofu in the freezer and pull it out a few days before I want to cook it!.
Japanese tofu is better known as silken tofu!. It comes in aseptic boxes and you'll find it on the shelf in the Asian foods section!. You use silken tofu in creamy sauces, puddings, soups, and as an egg replacer (1/4 cup tofu per egg)!. You can also make a "whipped cream" with silken tofu (check out "How it All Vegan!" for a recipe)!. You don't need to refrigerate it until you open the box!.
It's nothing like cream cheese, although Tofutti makes a vegan cream cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu tastes really plain, kind of like unseasoned and unsalted farmer's cheese, maybe!.
It's made out of soybeans; the soybeans are ground up in water and the fiber pulp is left out (it's called okara, I believe)!. Then the soy milk that's left over is coagulated by introducing a coagulation agent, kind of like you might make yogurt or cheese from cow's milk!.
Here's a link to a more detailed explanation of how it is made, with pics: http://www!.house-foods!.com/our_products/!.!.!.
What's great about tofu though is that it's like a sponge for flavor, while alone it's very mild and plain it'll take on flavor easily and can be used in sweet OR savory recipes!. It's very flexible!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
