EVER-GREEN VIETNAMESE

Although many people think of Vietnamese cooking as beefy pho and meat-filled sandwiches, traditional Vietnamese cooking has always involved a lot of plants and seafood and a little meat. In EVER-GREEN VIETNAMESE, award-winning author Andrea Nguyen shows how cooks in her home country draw on Buddhist traditions and ingrained resourcefulness to showcase a wide array of vegetables and herbs in flavorful, comforting recipes.

Filled with the brilliant advice and exceptional teaching Nguyen is known for, the book offers recipes for flavor-boosting condiments and sauces (including her incredible DIY vegan fish sauce), exciting ways to enjoy tofu, and dozens of vegetable-driven mains and sides, many of which can be customized for vegan diets. Full of cultural contextualization, loads of instruction, and practical cooking tips, EVER-GREEN VIETNAMESE is perfect for those looking to incorporate Vietnamese cooking into their busy, plant-based lives.
