I'm in the process of putting together a cookbook/sketchbook for an arts project called the Sketchbook Project: http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject
You complete this small sketchbook and then post it to a library in Brooklyn, who then store your sketchbook for people to borrow. Once mine is finished it will also be scanned and put online for people to see; I will also post the recipes on here for people to try. I've just created a recipe for Jai San Juk Ngau Yuk, which is steamed mock beef balls, a cantonese dimsum. I will put it on here shortly, along with some other recipes that will go in the book.

Oriental Choice, Inverness
Oriental Choice on Union Street shares its staircase with a less than
salubrious B&B, but DON'T be put off by the threadbare carpet or
possible drunken person sat on the steps leading up to the restaurant!
We had a beautiful meal at Oriental Choice tonight - lots of different tofu dishes and vegetables. A lot of dishes had a szechuan or northern chinese influence, which makes a change from the meat fest of cantonese restaurants! The staff were really accommodating and friendly.
Food Porn: Our table had the vegetarian spring rolls, crispy seaweed for starters. For mains we had "home-style" tofu, which was silken tofu in a chilli-soy sauce, red braised "hong shao" aubergine, tofu in a chilli sauce, Kung Pao tofu with cashew nuts, tofu in a black bean sauce, stir fried aubergines, and stir fried red braised "hong shao" potatoes, in a soya sauce. These were served with boiled rice or fried rice vermicelli.
There were lots more dishes that were veggie that will have to be tried in the future.
Definite venue for the future!
