Vietnamese Cookery by Jill Nhu Huong Miller
Overview: HERE, FOR THE FIRST TIME in English, is an absolutely authentic, definitive, and most distinctive collection of Vietnamese recipes. Among the somewhat unusual and fascinating ingredients (available most anywhere) are such succulents as bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, coconut, pineapple, shrimp, and an interesting vermicelli called "bean threads" or "long rice."
