📣 Hi! I started a newsletter! 😊 ✉️ Welcome to Tiff’s Table 🌱A newsletter inspired by what started all of this - the need for more plant-based Asian recipes. The first post is now live on @substack! You can find more details at the link in bio or at tiffanybach.substack.com ❤️ Thank you to my incredible village for helping bring Tiff’s Table to life —from conception to design to editing and guidance. Finally, I am forever thankful to the Tiff Loves Tofu community. You all are some of the most compassionate people and continue to inspire me everyday. I’m grateful to be on this plant-based journey with you.

Vegan Food Market in NYC ⬇️ @lilysveganpantry, a Minority and Women-Owned business in Chinatown, has been serving the NYC community since 1995. It’s the also the first all-vegan market in the city. Since then, they’ve consistently maintained their mission of offering a diverse range of high-quality, Asian plant-based products. They believe that food should bring joy to your plate while promoting a more compassionate and sustainable future. I’ve been shopping here for the past 2 years, especially for all the mock meats and pantry items. Check it out if you’re in the area or you can place an order on their website because they ship nationwide! Special shoutout to Jeeca @thefoodietakesflight for helping me capture all the footage for this video 🙏🏻

$10 Vegan Lunchbox Special in NYC ⬇️ For Veganuary, I’m highlighting my top vegan/vegan-friendly restaurants in NYC and this video is about how much I appreciate a great lunchbox special.

Hosted my first Cookbook Club with @stephh_lau, featuring @thekoreanvegan cookbook (and during Veganuary!!! 🌱) I’ll never forget the first time I attended one of Stephanie’s Cookbook Clubs. I remember feeling so at home in a space where everyone shared a love for cooking, enjoying great food, making new friends, and exploring new cultures through food. So, when Stephanie asked me to co-host one, I immediately said yes! And as a longtime, massive fan of Joanne (see last pic from Nov 2021), I knew it had to be from her cookbook—the one that started it all for me. Thank you to every single attendee for putting so much care and thought into each dish. ❤️ I’ve never tried so many Korean vegan dishes in my life! My belly and heart are still so full from this event. This one was truly unforgettable. Special shoutout to @thecalifornianaturals for their cruelty-free haircare products and @drinksanzo for keeping us hydrated!🥤

Vegan Curry Laksa 🍜 ⬇️ Sometimes, taking shortcuts is exactly what we need to get to where we’re going. Today’s dish is a perfect example of that: a bowl of creamy vegan curry Laksa, inspired by Malaysia’s iconic coconut curry noodle soup, and made with a store-bought jar of curry paste. If you want to make this at home, the full recipe is available in my newsletter—just click the link in my bio 😊
