So, my youngest daughter went to a food expo in Boston. Ming Tsai was there. I love Ming! Years ago, we lived in Massachusetts and Ming had (probably still has) a restaurant in our town. We'd go to the restaurant. I met him at a book signing in Needham -- He signed his book for me. I was in Heaven.
When we moved to Florida, my husband thought too many things were in our garage (there are no basements or attics here) -- So... He took out the boxes -- put them on the curb -- and put a sign, "FREE -- TAKE ME" -- We laughed how quickly people came by and "took everything" -- I wasn't laughing when much later I said "what was in those boxes?" -- "Oh old books." --- My Ming Tsai Cookbook. I was sooooooo upset. He offered to buy me a new one. It's not the same, I grumbled.....
Now that you know the back story, you'll appreciate the inscription.
My daughter had his latest book signed for me! What a sweetie she is.
I've made two recipes so far from the book. This one I loved so much I've made it twice in the last 2 weeks.
It is a tomato quinoa soup with grated parmesan for a topper. Absolutely delicious. What's in it? Tomato, carrot, ginger, onion, tamari, broth and quinoa.
