Grilled Tofu Banh Mi Sandwich

I have mentioned it here before but a couple summers ago (well 9 summers ago but it seems like yesterday) I was fortunate enough to backpack around Southeast Asia. The timing worked out that both my husband (then fiance) and I could take the time off and get lost in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. The trip will always be one of my favorites for many reasons, but one of the main reasons was the culinary awakening I had during our travels. We ate so many new flavors and new dishes that I completely fell in love with all of the Southeast Asian cuisine. We had many food moments that were life changing but one in particular was our first banh mi sandwich in Vietnam.

When I first served it, I served it over a flank steak but I think it is hearty and tasty enough that is stands up all on its own.

Summertime Pasta with Fresh Pappardelle

Way back in the day, I was a lowly prep cook at a Michelin starred Italian restaurant in SF. It was my first "job" out of culinary school and it was intense. Most of my day was spent doing tasks that were tedious and boring (and frankly kind of awful). But on special occasions the man in charge of the pasta station would let me help make the fresh pasta...
