SynopsisAccompany journalist and photographer Camille Oger on an eye-opening journey across the globe to discover the amazing history and culture of tofu. In her native France, Camille finds tofu to be a marginalized food, languishing under an aura of 1970s-style health food. During her extensive travels in Asia, however, Camille discovered strikingly different approaches to tofu from country to country-as well as an astonishing variety of forms, from silken to deep-fried to lemongrass-scented. In China, she found that tofu is not seen as a meat replacement, but valued as an ingredient in its own right. In Taiwan, it is an essential part of a mainstream vegetarian tradition that sees most of the population skipping meat regularly without avoiding it at other times. The Japanese appreciate the delicacy and style of their tofu preparations, while Koreans like to flavor tofu with chiles and crank up the heat to eye-watering levels. In this definitive volume, you'll travel with Camille to the many homelands of tofu and savor it in all its complex forms and preparations-as diverse and beloved as cheese or wine varieties in France-and find intriguing new ways to bring tofu into your own kitchen. Book jacket., This comprehensive cookbook stars tofu and presents the limitless, multi-cuisine possibilities of this versatile, nourishing ingredient in a wide range of delectable dishes. Featuring a robust collection of 170 recipes from all over the world, Tofu makes the case for the ingredient as a culinary "blank page" much like white rice or pasta--and a boon for flavor and culinary techniques of all types. Using spices, condiments, sauces, and herbs, tofu serves as an inexhaustible source of culinary diversity. Spanning Japanese-style Grilled Tofu with Miso to Lemongrass Tofu from Vietnam, Tofu a la Bolognese from Italy to Spicy Tofu with Peanuts from China, this comprehensive and informative guide to the bean-based ingredient serves as a multicultural road map to creating plant-based meals. Along with the enticing array of recipes, this collection features 100 full-color photographs, prep and cook time tips, diet designations, and handy reference to the different types and uses of tofu--making it a definitive title for all skill levels.
