by Annabel Jackson, Ham Chau, Van Chi
The Gioi Publishers, 2005, 4.25 in x 8 in, 268 pages, color photos.
An anthology of food related articles selected from the magazine Vietnam Cultural Window. This book explores cuisine in the broader context of Vietnamese culture. There are no recipes or instruction on how to make specific dishes, but lots of information on food and food culture. Pho, rice, fruit, tea as well as the food of Tet and other festivals are examined. Separate chapters address the food of Hanoi and the North, Hue and Central Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh City and the South. The final chapter takes you through Vietnam's markets, one of the "must" experiences of a visit to Vietnam. Glossaries on Vietnamese food, spices, vegetables and fruits.
