Andrea Nguyen, Asian Tofu
03/07/2012 7:30 pm
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!
James Beard Cookbook Award Finalist and Santa Cruz resident Andrea Nguyen, author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and Asian Dumplings, will celebrate the publication of her delicious new cookbook, Asian Tofu. “This exquisite book restores tofu to its proper place—one based on deep craft, elegance, and imagination.” —Deborah Madison
