Culinary Vietnam

by Daniel Hoyer

With the help of the chef and author of Culinary Mexico, explore the tantalizing blend of the fresh, bright, sweet, and hot flavors of Vietnam. Vietnamese cuisine has developed over thousands of years with countless influences from other cultures. Full of authentic recipes, Culinary Vietnam teaches how the aspects of flavor, aroma, texture, color, contrast, balance, and even the sound a food makes should be taken into consideration in the planning of a Vietnamese meal. Author Daniel Hoyer opens the door into the world of Vietnamese cooking methods and theories, as well as to the background of the cuisine, and gives some historical and cultural tidbits, all while showing just the breadth of this simple, agriculturally based cuisine.

Not a good book for a kindle at all. I just wanted to go to a recipe to cook it but had to find it among the text and images. Maybe would have been better as just a table book? Also could have used a lot more recipes.

Everything in this book looks amazing I am looking forward to cooking from it. This will be lots of fun.

The book has good structure when the reader is new to different cuisine, it starts with nice intro to ingredients in Vietnamese cuisine. The presentation of recipes is excellent and easy to follow. I have cooked few recipes and they turned out excellent.
