I know I'm not alone.

The book aims to help readers bring those flavors home." -- Washington Post "If you are looking for some inspiring vegetarian dishes, look no further than the 'newly arrived' shelf at your local bookstore... None is more modern than V-Street... The new book features fun recipes for Dan Dan Noodles... and Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches." -- Providence Journal
