Vietnamese Food

Recipes & Stories from Vietnam

Wild Wild East: Recipes & Stories from Vietnam was published in 2007 (reprinted and re-titled Vietnamese Food in 2014). It is an authentic guide to Vietnamese food as it is eaten today and modern adaptations of traditional dishes. Bobby describes Vietnamese food as being as near to Nirvana as imaginable – fresh, clean flavours that are light, healthy and incredibly diverse.  Beyond recipes, it offers a true adventure story in the culinary world of Vietnam with vivid photography by award-winning photographer Jason Lowe. Read about Bobby’s first experiences of running a kitchen, how he found out the traditional recipe for the secret sauce for grilled chicken, and his off-the-wall tales of some very unusual ingredient
