Cheryl Chong: TOFU (Recipe Book)

TOFU is a recipe book with hopes to inspire healthy eating, especially in our hectic daily life where fast and unhealthy food is so prevalent. An exploration into the relationship of healthier lifestyle through Tofu; based upon the central concepts of white and emptiness or “wu”, which can be traced to the Buddhist Zen and Daoism ideas.
 White addresses the notion of “purity” which resonates both the aspect of tofu’s natural color as well as a healthier diet. Emptiness represents the meditative process of returning to the most fundamental aspects physically (body) and spiritually (mind). Retuning our body back to “purity” and “peace” requires space, and in order to do so; everything is stripped down to the most essential elements.
 Tofu is not merely a healthier ingredient but can also viewed as a way of life.
