"This is a Donna Hay recipe. The combination of flavors and textures is wonderful. The sauce is really versatile, and could be easily be used for other veggies. It is quick and easy to make, and makes a great vegetarian meal served over brown rice."

Nice simple recipe. The kids refused to get enthused about the asparagus or tofu but hey, I liked it. Very quick to prepare.

Books and cooking are my passions...I love cookbooks by default. I will begin working on a Masters in English this coming fall...hopefully I'll still have time to cook! Someday I'd like to be able to publish my own cookbook from my family's recipes, but for now I'm just going to concentrate on getting my degree and becoming a better cook. I have an amazing boyfriend who, at 30, is just learning how to like vegetables and two rad, stripey cats.
