A friend gave me an early peek at Andrea Nguyen's new release, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen. This is the first comprehensive, full-color, cookbook dedicated to Vietnamese food in the English language - and it is a knockout. Andrea takes us on a beautifully written (and designed!) journey through authentic Vietnamese cooking, flavors, ingredients, and techniques. If you are looking for an entry point into this remarkable cuisine, start here.
