Real Vietnamese Cooking: Homestyle Recipes from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh by Lister, Tracey. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781742705262.

The definitive collection of recipes that captures the experience of travelling through Vietnam, and illustrates how to re-create the flavors at home. Real Vietnamese Cooking is a culinary voyage through this unique country. It samples the memorable meals found everywhere from street stalls to family gatherings, covering the three main culinary regions of the country: the hearty food of the cooler north with its four distinct seasons, dishes from the center with its tradition of the imperial cuisine from Hue, and the sweeter and spicier food from the tropical south. The lush photography and fresh design take the reader on a journey through classic and unusual recipes and the intricacies of the country’s rich cultural history. “After spending time with Tracey in Hanoi, I was thrilled to see the culinary journey through Vietnam in her new stunning book, with vivid photos illustrating the vast range of ingredients in Vietnamese food. The simplicity of the recipes, bursting with flavour, are a true reflection of the local dishes throughout the country” Michel Roux
