Tofu gets a bad rap—and it’s time to change that. We have no time for bland blocks or soggy stir fries that are tolerated because “at least it has protein.” In this livestream small group workshop, chef and tofu evangelist Marie Brennan takes you on a flavor-packed learning journey through the transformative ways tofu can work in your kitchen. Because, for all the flak it gets, tofu is one of the most versatile ingredients on the planet: it soaks up sauces, crisps like a dream and makes a silky base for both sweet and savory dishes. You’ll learn how to treat tofu like a blank canvas—just like neutrally flavored chicken breast or white beans—and make it taste great. You’ll nail a wide array of textures, from crispy to chewy to custardy. And you’ll pair tofu with some of Marie’s must-have ingredients, like spicy gochugaru, creamy tahini and savory toasted sesame and soy. Whether you’re a tofu doubter or already an enthusiast, this workshop is designed for you. From blistered steaks with crackly edges to tender braised bites and a surprisingly decadent dessert, you’ll come away with a new repertoire—and a new respect—for this humble ingredient.
