From sleek, silken tofu with delicate toppings to piping-hot fried satchels in a robust sauce, tofu provides a versatile canvas for the intricate flavors and textures that Asian and vegetarian cooks have long enjoyed. America has embraced tofu as a healthy, affordable ingredient. And while it has been welcomed into sophisticated mainstream dining, tofu is often hidden in Western guises and in limited applications. In her third intrepid cookbook, celebrated food writer, popular blogger and teacher, and one of Santa Cruz’s own, Andrea Nguyen, aims to elevate this time-honored staple to a new place of prominence on every table. This is a comprehensive guide to making tofu and cooking with it, featuring over 75 versatile recipes from one of the country's leading voices on Asian cuisine. Please join Bookshop Santa Cruz in welcoming Ms. Nguyen and be sure to come hungry as there will be sample recipes inspired by Asian Tofu at this event!
