This weekend marks L.A.'s Tofu Festival, August 12-13th. While some scoff at the cubic wonder food, it's a great opportunity to try it in its many forms as restaurants compete for the tastiest tofu treats. Offering a full itinerary of festive attractions such as a celebrity chef cooking stage (including an Iron Chef!), performance by Blackalicious, a beer and sake garden, and a tofu-eating contest, vegetarians and tofu-aficionados have a kickass reason to unite.



For those stuck at home or unable to attend, whip up your own tofu festival using the inventive, free recipes at the Post Punk Kitchen, beginning with those that use tofu as the main ingredient.

Also, don't even bother making fun here; I'm proud of my TOFU LUV.
