Marcelle Rogers - A Tasty Vegan Table

Welcome to My Kitchen

Cooking and eating brought our family together each evening, and now brings us together each birthday and each Christmas to share and laugh and live. The plant-based meals we enjoy preparing and eating passes on more than a collection of recipes, they teach the next generation a way to live.

Admittedly, tofu scramble has been around as long as the plant-based diet has been popular and in many cafes, a staple. So my little recipe is nothing new except it’s one I like with my preferred leeks, garlic and spices.

Tofu is considered a whole food that is minimally processed unlike many soy products that are genetically engineered. Tofu is one of a few plant-based foods that provides a complete source of protein.
