Broken Cuisine

To most Americans, tofu is a pasty, white block. But it’s actually a whole category of proteins, with over 20 different varieties. To give you a sense of how different they are from one another, some tofus melt; others taste like aged cheese; others have double the protein of firm tofu, taste nothing like it, and have a bready crumb. We teach chefs how to use these ingredients and help them get them on their menu.
