Publisher's Synopsis
When you've spent a hungry year under a tree, you learn what food really means.
Sometime in the late 70s, a small boat set sail from South Vietnam, riding dangerously low in the water with its human cargo. Among the passengers were a young couple and their four children fleeing the chaos of war. They would spend the next 13 months surviving the uncertainty and hardship of a refugee camp before settling in a new and strange nation: Britain.
One of those children was Lynne Chang. "Lynne's Month of Meals" comprises 30 classic Indochinese recipes handed down through the generations, learnt at an early age from her much-loved mother and grandmother.
- Step-by-step methods include preparation and cooking times
- Many practical tips and hints for today's non-cooks!
- Every recipe illustrated with full-colour photographs
- Wine pairing recommendations for each dish
There are noodle soups and exotic sandwiches, decadent duck and crackling pork. A full month's worth of dinners, all recreated from old family recipes passed down from grandmother to mother... and now to daughter.
Food is life... and life is memories. Lynne hopes you'll make these recipes part of yours.
