There are some soya desserts by provamal which are yummy - chocolate, vanilla or caramel.

The Vegan Family site might have some soya/tofu recipies on:
www.veganfamily.co.uk
haldene foods who make soya mince (you can buy this frozen) have the following suggestions:

The vegetarian society have some recipies using soya products. Here are some using tofu and here are some using soya mince.

This is the results of a search for recipies containg the word "soy" on the vegan society website and this is the results of a search for tofu.

I don't know what the recipies from the vegan society are like but I have a cookbook from the vegetarian society and I have found their recipies quite tasty and easy to produce.

have you tried Quorn or is it specifically soya you're looking at?

I find Quorn mince easy to use in place of "real" mince, and quorn chunks are good for stews etc

Have you thought of including a tablespoon or two of soya flour,from health food shops,in any baking? I always put a little in place of ordinary flour in cakes biscuits and bread. There is no change in taste and the food takes on a slightly golden brown appearance.
I used to put a handful of cooked soya beans in my bread when the children were small to boost the protein content and it made it very moist and light.
Adding a few cooked soya beans to each stew,casserole or pie filling or even squashed up in spagetti sauce is also a good way to up your intake.

Hope this helps.

Soya milk, expecially the chilled versions, are a great way to take soya and are quite easy to adjust to.

Tofu is fantastic, I was going to describe but fremembered Ladywood's post on THIS thread, Post 16 I think, which describes it so much better than I could.

Remember that the key with soya, in any form, is to add flavour to it. If you think of it as a blank canvas then cooking with it can be a real pleasure.
