Summary
Recipes for making traditional Vietnamese dishes are accompanied by menu-planning ideas, shopping lists, and information on equipment, ingredients, and techniques
Amazon.com description: Product Description: 150 authentic recipes from the three distinctive culary regions of Vietnam. "The best book on the subject I've seen." -- Jay Jacobs, Gourment Magazine With Technique Drawings and a Glossary of Ingredients Colorful, distinctive, exhilarating, Vietnamese food will delight everyone in search of new tastes and textures. Craig Claiborne places it among the four finest cuisines in the world. And for years, the French have flocked to Vietnamese restaurants in Paris, where this strinkingly different cuisine surpasses Chinese in popularity. With its reliance on uncooked vegetables, fresh salads, and delicate seafood dishers, combined in a dazzling aromatic balance of sparkling flavors, no wonder Vietnamese cooking won the title of "The Nouvelle Cuisine of the Orient." This superb collection of 150 recipes reflects all three of Vietnam's gastronomic regions: The Red River Delta in the north with its emphasis on light, airy stir-fried foods; the central Highlands, ancestral home of kings, with its spicy dishes decoratively arranged to please royal tastes; and the Mekong River Delta in the south with its abundant variety of vegetables and fruits, deliciously influenced by traditional French cooking. Now Western cooks can discover the secrets of Vietnamese cruisine, an exciting variety of tastes that form unforgettable meals. Surprisingly easy to prepare, these dishes require no special equipment or skill, and most use ingredients that are readily available. The results are spectacular.
