Tofu is a soya-based bean-curd which has been used for cooking in the Far East for centuries. This cookbook shows how easy to cook, deliciously versatile and wonderfully healthy tofu is. High in protein, low in calories and completely cholesterol-free, tofu is an excellent substitute for eggs, dairy products and meat. This inspiring cookbook explains the different types of tofu, how to store it and how to cook creatively with it. The easy to prepare recipes are dairy-free versions of international favourites including classic dishes such as English shepherd's pie, Mexican tacos, savoury Mediterranean-style risotto as well as soup, salads and desserts from around the world.

Personal accounts of adultery, cruelty, desertion and nullity fill this exposition of divorce and separation in Scotland in the seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Leah Leneman brings vividly to life the marriages and affairs, loves and hates, tenderness and harshness experienced by men and women whose marriages broke down in this period. Their stories, told in their own words, come from the entire spectrum of Scottish society, from the aristocracy to the 'common' people. Contrary to popular belief, divorce and legal separation were available on equal terms to men and women in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland. Alienated Affections offers an overall picture of this phenomenon, richly illustrated by the experiences of individuals.

This text looks at women who fought tirelessly for equality. It focuses on the Scottish women of all ages and from all backgrounds who were involved in the non-militant "suffragist" movement.
