Recipes from My Vietnamese Kitchen is a collection of recipes passed down through Uyen's family. Uyen was born in Saigon, before leaving Vietnam in the aftermath of the war. She regularly travels back to visit family and pick up more recipes for dishes found in the homes and on the streets of Vietnam. The recipes in the book tell a story - about Uyen's family and the culture of food in Vietnam. Recipes from My Vietnamese Kitchen is a fantastic new edition of the previously published My Vietnamese Kitchen.
