Reviews for Vietnamese Cuisine: Recipes and Anecdotes from Vietnamese Gastronomic Culture

"[An] appealing and accessible debut The focus is more on describing culinary traditions than recipes themselves, but amid informative sections on restaurant culture and wedding celebrations, readers will learn to make classic dishes including banh mi and beef pho Though this outing is light on recipes, readers will appreciate Ung's charming illustrations and Nguyen's spirited prose For anyone looking to explore Vietnamese cuisine, this is a great place to start-- ""Publishers Weekly"" (7/18/2023 12:00:00 AM)"
