“Paul B. Kennedy’s Vietnamese Food and Food Culture is a portal to an authentic culinary experience. Spiced with proverbs, cultural insights, fascinating facts, and gorgeous photography, the book is as much a coffee table showpiece as a working cookbook, offering a wide range of dishes from the north to the south of the country […] Highly recommended.” —Andrew X. Pham; Author of Catfish and Mandala and The Eaves of Heaven
“Paul Kennedy has created an experiential journey of Vietnamese culture that could only otherwise be replicated through travel and immersing oneself in Vietnam for years. [hellip;] This book is written for anyone with a serious interest in food, jam packed with flavor and history told through the lens of a well-travelled, passionate chef.” —Chef Tony Messina; James Beard Winner — Best Chef of the Northeast
