...So I should treat this as a recommendation, I'm guessing?
In the strongest possible terms. Outside of inarizushi (which I adore), I have never had much to say to tofu beyond "No, thanks," but this book is full of things I didn't realize I needed to learn how to do to soy. The tofu isn't standing in sheepishly for anything else. It's the point of the recipes. And if the rest of the recipes are as good as the twice-cooked coriander, I foresee a lot more tofu in my future than I would ever have thought. rushthatspeaks and I have already figured out we need to learn how to make our own yuba and okara. Also, we should stop renting this book from the library unless we want it to go back edible.
