Along with cookbooks, I write articles for magazines and newspapers. My work has appeared in many publications, including the Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Sunset, Bon Appetit, Cooking Ligh and SAVEUR, where I’m also a contributing editor. Additionally, I’ve written Asian food and culture pieces for Lonely Planet Vietnam (2012) and Cornbread Nation 6 by the Southern Foodways Alliance.
I’ve appeared on both local and national television programs and been interviewed on many radio programs, including NPR’s Splendid Table, Martha Stewart Living’sEveryday Food, and KCRW’s Good Food. A guest speaker at food events, I’ve been featured at the Sydney International Food Festival and the Culinary Institute of America’s World of Flavors conference, among others. I’ve also given talks atlibraries and educational institutions such as Yale University.
I teach cooking classes at locations such as the Institute for Culinary Education in New York, San Francisco Cooking School, and Love Apple Farms (Santa Cruz). I also provide consulting services on projects in the areas of food/hospitality, education, and business. My clients include restaurants and food manufacturers. I’ve worked with local eateries such as Charlie Hong Kong in Santa Cruz and large entities like Nestle foods.
My new cookbook, Asian Tofu was published by Ten Speed Press on February 28, 2012. On that date, we released the book as a traditional print book, regular ebook (a digital version of the printed book), and an enhanced ebook that’s just like the printed book but with video tutorials and travelogues; see the ebook buying guide for details. In February 2013, we released an eBooklet for DIY tofu making called Making Soy Milk and Tofu at Home.
In advance of publication, Asian Tofu was reviewed and featured in Martha Stewart Living, San Francisco magazine, and Publishers Weekly. The work has been deemed a ‘game changer’ and I hope that it informs and inspires more people to enjoy tofu as a delicious food, not a denial food.
