Vietnam On A Plate

Vietnam on a Plate is a guide in the best sense of the word. Annabel Doling explores the culinary traditions and modern menu of Vietnam to present an intimate and entertaining portrait of a country, its people, and its cuisine. Doling interweaves history, anecdotes, and informed analysis in this journey to the heart of a fascinating cuisine in which aromatic spices are balanced with fresh herbs; where steaming bowls of rice noodle soup cross daily paths with fresh baguette and cafe filtre.

This book is as illuminating to food lovers as to travellers to Vietnam. It is beautifully illustrated with original and archive photographs and modern art. Featuring discussions of culinary trends in the north, center and south, recipes, a glossary of food terms, and a guide to eating well in major cities and towns throughout Vietnam.
