A book of Vietnamese cooking, techniques and stories, told from the perspective of Thi Le, the best regarded voice in this space in Australia today.
Thi widens the lens on Vietnamese cooking – cataloguing recipes at risk of being lost through generations, documenting the influences of Vietnam’s ethnic tribes and history on the cuisine, and employing her expertise as a chef to elicit flavor and essential elements from dishes - making this book a true modern day reference of Vietnamese cuisine wherever you are in the word
The narrative is interwoven with Thi’s compelling personal story and her insight into the ethos of Vietnamese cuisine as a Viet Kieu: a survivor of childhood trauma; her place as a chef in the culinary identities of both her ancestral and naturalised home; a vessel of self-expression and self-discovery articulated as recipes.
