TOFU - ITS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD 

The studies prove Tofu is an incredibly healthful ingredient.  Its been around for 1000 years so why are westerners so apprehensive about it?

Perhaps it's because we don't understand it.  This is a favorite class of mine because it will change the way you feel about Tofu.  You will know that Tofu is versatile, simple to make, takes very little time and (much to your surprise) tastes great.  We will make Pearl of Tofu, Mapo Tofu, Agedashi Tofu (Japanese style fried Tofu, Sweet and Sour Crispy Tofu.  (Tasting)
