Made in Vietnam

More about the book

Based on memorable meals eaten at street food stalls, family gatherings and countryside eateries, Made In Vietnam covers three main culinary regions of the country: the heart food of the north, dishes from the center, with its tradition of the imperial cuisine of the Hue, and the sweeter and spicier food of the tropical South. This comprehensive collection includes recipes from staple Vietnamese dishes, such as Beef Noodle Soup (Pho Bo), to lesser-known recipes, such as Eel in Caul Fat, Banana Flower Salad and Boiled Jackfruit Seeds. In addition to the recipes, Made in Vietnam also looks at aspects of the country's food history and its absorption of various culinary influences, including the extensive French influence, long-established coffee culture the casual style of dining that is so synonymous with many parts of Asia.
