Uyen Luu succeeds in bringing the authentic flavors of Vietnamese cuisine into the home kitchen in an incredibly accessible way – and it’s all vegetarian. The more than 80 recipes, which range from green papaya salad to lotus sweet potato rice pudding, are not only versatile and creative, but also easy to make.

Particularly impressive are the numerous tips on how to substitute traditional ingredients when they are not available in the supermarket, as well as the basics such as vegan fish sauce or homemade pastry sheets, which provide a deeper insight into Vietnamese cuisine. Uyen Luu also manages to offer not only everyday dishes, but also sophisticated festive meals or snacks for in-between meals, so there really is something for every occasion.

The consistently high-quality and stylish photos round off the reading and cooking experience perfectly. Whether you are new to cooking or a culinary explorer – this book will make you want to discover Vietnamese cuisine in all its facets and integrate it into your everyday life in an uncomplicated way.
