 The Songs of Sapa: Stories and Recipes from Vietnam
Luke Nguyen
Chef and bestselling author Luke Nguyen (Secrets of the Red Lantern) returns to his home in Vietnam to embark on a culinary adventure, eating in peoples homes, in restaurants, at street vendors and markets, and everwehere in between. Sumptuously photographed this is as much a coffee table book as a cookbook, but the recipes are interesting and authentic too; wok-tossed beef with winged beans, tomatoes stuffed with pork and wood ear mushrooms, pumpkin flower salad with prawn and pork. Beautiful colour photography throughout. Hardcover, 344 pp. $64.95.
 Wild, Wild East: Recipes and stories from Vietnam
Bobby Chinn
Having worked side by side with Hubert Keller and Gary Danko, Chinn now plies his skills at his restaurant in Hanoi. Stories abound in the book and are as compelling as the recipes. A wonderful look at what makes this country's cuisine so interesting and it's people engaging, all told through food of course. Hardcover, 224 pp, $29.95.
