CHARLOTTE'S PICK
Tiffy Chen's titular blog single-handedly got me through university without selling my soul to delivery services or contracting scurvy. Her Taiwanese home-cooking and street-food inspired recipes are easy to follow, limited ingredient, and extremely delicious. Curating a diverse set of dishes with a reasonable understanding of the average person's "pantry staples", Tiffy has knocked it out of the park putting her well-deserved online success into print. I'm making "stinky" tofu (pg. 120) tonight, wish me luck! -CC
