Not that I'd ever want to quit it...It comes by way of Grace Young's lovely cookbook, The Breath of a Wok, which my husband gave me as a gift after we returned from a trip to Southeast Asia what feels like…

We have a friend who is the most selfish smoker I have ever met. One night when we were at a restaurant the owner delayed each and every one of the courses as she kept…

Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu

Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu by Grub Post

I love that Ma Po Tofu translates to something like "old pock-marked woman tofu." Sounds delicious already, huh?This is more of a faux Ma Po Tofu.
