MANUFACTURED BY: 1 Introduction to Soymilk .......................................3-8 2 The great philosopher Anon once said, "He who dies owning the most toys wins the game." Death is the ultimate destination for every one of us, but Anon also said, "Getting there is half the fun." I love toys. I have accumulated an impressive collection. For me, kitchen appliances are the best toys in the world, representing man’s creative triumphs over nature. The great chef Escoffier would have disavowed all claims to the classic French technique if only he had available a Cuisinart food processor. Twenty minutes of wriststraining garlic and parsley mincing are replaced by a twenty-second process by which one lever can be gently pressed to do the work of ten of the 18th century’s finest chefs. I love culinary toys. I grind my own grains in a powerful VitaMix machine, using fresh whole wheat flour for pancakes. I use the same machine to grind sesame seed for homemade tahini. I use my juicer to produce quarts of fresh orange and grapefruit juice. My bread maker kneads dough, and provides the perfect foundation for foolproof homemade pizzas. Last year, I discovered the mother of all toys, a soymilk machine. It was manufactured by a Chinese company. I soon developed a relationship with the American distributor, and sold the machines from my Internet website, www.notmilk.com. Five hundred units were sold that first month, so I contacted my representative to buy larger quantities of the machine. I also searched the "market" for competitors. There was a Korean machine that retailed for twice the price. It didn’t take long to discover that the Korean machine was actually the original soy machine. The Korean company owned the American patent, which the Chinese company had copied. One day the people of the great nation of China may recognize and respect intellectual property rights. That day has not yet come. I met with the machine’s inventor and owner, Mr. Kim, at a health show in Baltimore. I also began a friendship and business relationship with his American partner, David. Mr. Kim invited me to Korea. There, the three of us tested and tasted countless combinations and permutations altering time, filter size, heat treatment, until we ultimately developed a machine that would produce the perfect recipe. The SoyToy is the result of our effort. You will soon produce the healthiest and best tasting soymilk in the world. The Chinese version of Mr. Kim’s machine was made with cheap parts and materials. There are dozens of differences between the two machines, from internal electronic circuitry to quality of construction to integrity of the entire unit. For example, instead of using stainless steel, the Chinese version was made with rolled steel, which rusted easily. The interior of the machine in which the soymilk cooked had rough edges, while Mr. Kim’s machine has smooth, beveled edges. Mr. Kim’s machine was more expensive, but it was an easy decision to go with the patented quality-made machine. In January of 2001, Mr. Kim’s machine won 3 an award (in Germany) for the best world patent of the year. While Mr. Kim’s original machine retails in the United States for $250, we sell our machine for almost $100 less. We want the SoyToy to be in the home of every American. That’s why we sacrificed enormous profit to become leaders in the soy revolution. Whether you are a new soy user or a knowledgeable vegetarian or vegan, welcome to the team. Spread the wonderful news about soy’s benefits and great taste! Most people could not have a cow living in their backyard or apartment. For the average homeowner or apartment dweller, owning a cow is just not pragmatic. Even if you had one, you’d have to feed her, clean up after her (yuck), keep her healthy, milk her, birth her calf, and live with the guilt of having to sell her gentle but unlucky offspring to a veal processor (in order to give milk she must first birth a calf ). You would have to filter the milk to remove whatever drips down from the cow’s underside, and then pasteurize the milk to destroy the bacteria. It’s not easy being a dairy farmer. You would probably name your cow and grow close to her just as you would with any family pet. Think of the pain (to both you and your cow) when she no longer gives milk and you’ve got to replace her. The last moos from these beautiful bovines are their goodbye songs: "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, we’ll be slaughtered, don’t forget us…" They don’t have many old-age retirement homes for cows (see Farm Sanctuary, Watkins Glen, New York). So, it’s just impractical to produce your own milk. It always has been. Until now. Today you can have something better than a cow. You can have a machine that produces milk, and that machine sits on your kitchen counter. You can have, within minutes, the tastiest and healthiest milk and milk products. You can produce that milk for pennies per quart. You can make more than just milk. Feed your entire family on soups, fritters, burgers, and desserts. All from the SoyToy. Soymilk is wonderful! Pint for pint, it contains fewer calories than cow’s milk, no saturated animal fat, and zero cholesterol. Cow’s milk contains powerful growth hormones. Soymilk has none. Cow’s milk harbors dangerous bacteria, and has been implicated in thousands of cases of human disease. Soymilk comes fresh from the soybeans, not filthy bovine udders. Cow’s milk contains powerful allergens. Samples of cow’s milk contain high levels of antibiotics. Soy plants do not get mastitis or staphylococcus aureus, and are not injected with antibiotics or growth hormones by farmers. Cows are. Thousands of studies published in scientific peer-reviewed journals implicate cow’s milk as being a causative factor of hundreds of human ailments including the big three: heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. Soymilk is given credit for being heart healthy, preventing bone loss, and curing cancer. All in all, soymilk is a better product for you, doing your body more good and less harm than cow’s milk, but there’s one critically important factor appropriate to the theme of this book. Soymilk tastes better! 4 It’s rare to meet a kid who enjoys cow’s milk. That’s why parents have to urge, bribe, and threaten their children into drinking cow’s milk. Who can blame parents? That message has been pounded into the psyches of generation after generation of children. Kids are told that their bones will break in old age if cow’s milk is not consumed in youth. Bless the wisdom of children for inwardly hating cow’s milk. Grown men and women react with disgust at the thought of drinking a twelve-ounce glass of human breast milk with their cookies. Undoubtedly, human breast milk is the perfect drink for baby humans. Why then, do we not drink it as adults? Instinctively we know that human breast milk contains substances unfit for adult humans. These substances have names such as lactoferrins, immunoglobulins, protein, and steroid hormones. Human breast milk offers protection for baby humans against disease. Children who are nursed by their mothers have higher IQs and less disease. Just as we realize that human milk is no gourmet’s delight, we extend that same wisdom to dog’s milk, despite the fact that canines are man’s best friends. Pig milk, horse milk, and aardvarks to zebras. Of 4,700 mammals in the animal kingdom, just one milk has been made to acceptable to drink, cow’s milk. Dairy products are so delicious some people describe them as being "to die for." If you’ve read my books, MILK--The Deadly Poison and Milk A-Z, you’re familiar enough with milk’s adverse effects on the human body. This is a celebration of soy. It’s a celebration of a new toy, the SoyToy. You do not have to own a soymilk machine to enjoy soymilk. You can buy dozens of different brands of soymilk at health food stores and local supermarkets. Expect to pay in excess of $2 per quart. You can also purchase soybeans in five-pound bags for about 50 cents per pound. If you have a SoyToy, you’ll produce two quarts of milk in 25 minutes and the cost of the finished product will be about four cents per quart. The machine will more than pay for itself in a few months. If you don’t have a machine, you can grind the beans against a hard rock in your nearest stream and boil the mash for about two hours and hope that it tastes as good as the milk from the SoyToy (it won’t). The Basic Recipe Add one-half cup of dried soybeans to the filtering barrel. Add two quarts of water to the pot. Push a button. Could anything be simpler? 5 When debating the subject of water, many purists refuse to drink directly from the tap. Some use filters to remove chemicals. Others drink only bottled water. I used to drink one brand of water, Evian, relying upon that company’s claim that glacier water was the healthiest. One day, nutritionist Doug Graham suggested that I read the word "evian" backwards. I did, and felt a bit foolish in having believed such "marketing hype." In any event, the fresher the ingredients for any recipe, the better the taste. I’ve used water directly from my tap. Soymilk makers do the same in their manufacturing facilities. I am lucky enough to have a water company that treats water with ozone, not chlorine. There is no offensive taste of smell to my tap water. Even so, I do use a water filter. Never use hot water from your tap. The hot water sits in pipes for hours, leeching chemicals and whatever else might have been placquing in the interior of your plumbing system. Use the best water you can. That will affect the ultimate taste of your recipe. Nutritionist T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., was the principal researcher in the China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project. Campbell studied the health of the Chinese people, determining that their low rates of heart disease, cancer, and bone disease resulted from eating a diet high inag plant proteins and essential omega oils, and low in animal products and saturated fat and cholesterol. The New York Times called his "China Study" the "Grand Prix of nutritional studies," and that study provides a solid foundation supporting a vegetarian lifestyle. For whatever it’s worth, the Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese adore and venerate their elderly people, respecting their wisdom and a lifetime of knowledge and experience. On the other hand, in America, we do everything we can to stay young, reject older age, and lose respect and sometimes ridicule the imagined senility of the elderly. I respect the Asian approach, and reject the American way of thinking. In the best spirit of the adage, "you are what you eat," I’ve come to the realization that it’s smarter to eat healthier. There are thousands of different varieties of soybeans. In America, farmers grow 50 different kinds. On a recent trip to Korea, my friend David gave me a twenty-minute lecture on each variety and how the Korean people were the first to make soymilk. The Chinese might argue with that claim, having texts demonstrating soy cultivation methods dating back over 4,000 years. It doesn’t matter which claim is true. What is important to understand is that soybeans and soymilk are an important part of the Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cultures and diets, and has been so for many thousands of years. 6 The Asian peoples will not buy genetically engineered American soybeans. Neither will Europeans. Yet, I have studied the scientific literature, and have seen no indication that a consumer’s health and safety would be compromised by consuming genetically engineered beans. Do I buy or use them? Nope. Call me superstitious. Call me cautious. There has been entirely too much controversy regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the jury is still out. The companies who manufacture and market GMOs have a track record of fraud and deceit. I personally have testified before the United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration during the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone controversy. So, the bottom line is that I do not trust those who continue to make errors and hide them. However, in concept, I believe that genetic engineering holds great promise for mankind. One day, in theory, I believe that pharmaceutical companies will get things right. I just do not believe that day has yet arrived. Enough politics. Buy non-GMOs. Buy organic if you can. The better the ingredients, the better will be your final products. Soy represents great taste, great food, and gourmet cuisine. In 1999, the dairy industry filed a suit against the soy industry seeking an injunction against soymilk manufacturers from referring to their product as "milk." Attorneys for the National Fluid Milk Processors argued that "milk" was a liquid substance that came from cow’s udders, not beans. Although I have been against the consumption of cow’s milk products since 1994 (when Monsanto developed the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone), I was rooting for the dairymen. I wanted them to win. If milk producers gained a victory in the courts, the name soymilk would forever vanish from our language. What would replace it? I was hoping that the soy industry would name their product, "NOT-pus," "NOT-hormones," or "NOT-glue." You’ve made your soymilk. Now what? It’s steaming hot. There are an infinite number of options to be explored. The SoyToy will be your introduction to an entirely new cuisine. There are an infinite number of ways to enjoy soymilk. Many people buy containers and simply use it on their cereal as a substitute for cow’s milk. How boring. Here’s how I usually start my day: I make two quarts of the basic recipe. Add one tablespoon of maple syrup to one pint of soymilk and enjoy the drink hot. What a wonderful way to welcome the sunrise. After that is finished, I add to a second pint either one bouillon cube (I use a brand made from vegetarian stock) 7 or one tablespoon of miso, a fermented soy paste. (Miso comes in many flavors, and is aged). The second quart of soymilk is refrigerated in an old glass milk bottle for later use. They homogenize cow’s milk so that the fat and pus (somatic cells) do not rise to the surface. That is not necessary with the soymilk, although pure white sediment from ground beans will settle. Just shake the jar before using. In that sediment are two very wonderful gifts from the soybean, genistein and daidzein. They belong to a group of health- beneficial nutrients named isoflavones. The soybean is one of the very few plant sources containing a full range of amino acids. There are twenty-eight amino acids in nature. Your liver can manufacture nineteen of them. The remaining nine must be eaten in food. Soy provides the perfect protein source and fiber, with no saturated animal fat or cholesterol. In 1938, Hungarian Albert Szent-Györgyi won a Nobel Prize for isolating a group of substances from oranges called bioflavinoids. These substances act like vitamins within the human body. These substances are found in many fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Soy products contain many of these cancer-fighting substances. In addition, soy products contain phytoestrogens. While estrogen is the hormone defining a woman’s essence, estrogen can also act as a woman’s worst nightmare, increasing rates of breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer. Phytoestrogens are estrogen balancing chemicals. Hundreds of studies published in peerreviewed scientific journals demonstrate that soy’s bioflavinoids and isoflavones prevent and reverse cancer. America's Food and Drug Administration concurs, and has published a 66- page supporting document in the Congressional Record. Soy also contains essential fatty acids including conjugated linolenic acid (CLA), an Omega 3 oil. This is the same heart-healthy oil that scientists identified in raw fish liver. Let the fish swim free and keep their raw livers where they belong. Eat soy and obtain this miracle food supplement. The Japanese have a word for the ground soybean residues left over after the milk is cooked: Okara. More often than not, this protein-rich substance becomes an ingredient for many of the dishes we prepare. The SoyToy filtering container is designed so that some of the sediment mixes with the milk. We did this intentionally after taste-testing various samples of finished product. To produce very thin milk, strain or filter out the sediment. To produce extremely rich and creamy milk, add the remaining okara to the hot soymilk. If not adding it to the soymilk, the Okara can be drained of liquid, refrigerated, and reserved for future use. 8 Graphic pages 9-16:
components Soymilk Add two quarts of water to the SoyToy machine. Add 1/2 cup of soybeans to the grinding unit. Plug in the machine. Push the button. Wait 25 minutes. My Favorites Each morning, I start my day with either a cup of maple soy or soy bouillon. To a cup of hot soymilk, add 1 bouillon cube or 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.

Cow’s milk cheeses are delicious. Some people say that they’re addictive. Researcher Robert Cade, M.D., would agree. He identified a morphine-type substance in cow’s milk called casomorphin, which he blames for attention deficit disorder and autism. Ten pounds of cow’s milk are required to make one pound of cheese. Cheddar cheese contains concentrated hormones. Here is a substitute:
17 Soy Butter (Margarine) The great margarine vs. butter debate has been raging for thirty years. As far as I am concerned, both are unhealthy. Saturated animal fat contained in butter and hydrogenated oils in margarine do not do the body any good. As a matter of fact, these two substances have been identified as key factors in America’s number one killer, heart disease. Until recently, my cooking relied upon monounsaturated fats such as cold pressed safflower, sunflower, and olive oils. In many of New York City’s finer restaurants, butter is no longer served with fine bread as prelude to great meals. Instead, extra virgin olive oil is drizzled over bread, sometimes flavored with sun dried tomatoes or fresh herbs. The soy butter in the following recipe stays soft and "spreadable" in the refrigerator. Combine it with minced garlic and a few sprinkles of salt and you’ll be making perfect garlic bread.

20 Super Smoothie Fruits are loaded with live enzymes, vitamins, fiber, minerals, and they’re deliciously low in calories. Smoothies make the richest and most satisfying snacks. Get exotic. Try mixing papaya, mango, or avocado with any other combination of juices and fruits. We enjoy freezing peaches, blueberries, and mango wedges. Why dilute a drink with ice cubes when frozen cantaloupe and honeydew melon squares are available? Dalai Lama I’ve been told that the Dalai Lama was weaned at the age of six. This is the formula that did the trick; he drank it until exiled from his homeland. Should he ever visit your place, this should make him feel right at home. (The original recipe used honey. We substitute maple syrup.)
21 Great Soups Many years ago, in an effort to create a great non-dairy cream of mushroom soup, I experimented upon my family by using a can of soy-based infant formula as the base. They loved the soup until I revealed my secret ingredient. The idea of eating baby formula brought instant revulsion, and that ended the experiment. The source of traditional cream-based soups should give any gourmet indigestion. We drink body fluids from diseased animals in the name of good health. Those fluids (cow’s milk) contain residues of virus, dead white blood cells (somatic cells), bacteria, powerful growth hormones, allergy-causing proteins, antibiotics, pesticides, saturated animal fat, cholesterol, and dioxins. Time for a delicious alternative? These soups won’t last long around your home. Cream of Mushroom Soup

Perfect Pancakes In 1975, I learned the art of making the perfect pancake when attending America’s premiere cooking school, the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), in Hyde Park, New York. Begin with a non-stick frying pan or griddle. Preheat the pan and add a tablespoon of oil. Cook one tiny pancake (the first one is usually sacrificed to the Pancake Gods…it never turns out just right, but after that the rest seem to come out perfect). Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients just before cooking. Otherwise, they thicken and the batter becomes useless. 23 Whole Wheat Pancakes
24 Tofu-Hummus Most recipes for hummus call for standard ingredients that include ground sesame seeds (tahini), chick peas (Garbanzo beans), lemon juice, and raw garlic. My hummus is always magic. The secret is to first sauté the garlic until golden brown. The garlic "kick" that some people find offensive is eliminated by cooking, and the flavor of roasted garlic adds a warm taste to a dish, and is a great improvement over the raw version. As with any dish, I use the best available ingredients. Sometimes I read recipes in cookbooks and authors urge the use of fresh lemon juice and canned chick peas. Any product canned in water is going to lose some of its essence and taste. Go the extra yard and use fresh, when possible. For chick peas, that means boiling the beans. Opening a can is easier, of course. Cooking the chick peas will make a good hummus great. It’s also much cheaper, by a factor of three or four times.
