Vietnamese Cooking

Vietnamese cuisine is famously light, healthy and fresh. Its characteristic play of sweet, savoury, sour and spicy; its contrast of bright colours, and its large selection of dishes that vary from city to city all help secure its place among the great cuisines of the world.

In this book you’ll be pleased to find a diverse selection of mains, side dishes and desserts suitable throughout the day. There are delicious options for quick snacks and individual courses you can use to construct large, formal meals. Some dishes recall familiar flavours, like fried sweet potato chips. Others, like steamed pork intestine with ginger are more exotic.
