Tofu Cookbook Book Review

Read Hawaii Book Blog’s “tofu-rrific” review of our Tofu Cookbook at http://www.hawaiibookblog.com/.   Thank you Hawaii Book Blog!!!

Here is an excerpt:

“The book features contributions from chef Peko Nishimura and Misa Uyehara, and there’s enough delicious ways to prepare tofu in this book to last you a whole year! From fresh and healthy salads to hearty soups and stir-frys, and even dessert! The book contains over sixty recipes, in both English and Japanese, as well as step by step instructions for draining tofu, and even some helpful deep frying techniques. If you haven’t had fried tofu, you’re really missing out.

I love that the book also includes instructions on how to make dashi (Japanese soup stock)–so now I don’t have to deal with that paste my dad uses too much of when he’s making soup. And now we have sixty yummy new ways to eat healthier–because don’t forget, tofu is good for you too! I also love that this is a local company, making a local product and using their expertise to share a book of recipes (that’s published locally) with the community. Really a great example of buy local, eat local, read local.”
