Vietnamese Cuisine in New Orleans

Vietnamese cooking has become a staple of Crescent City cuisine. Fans of the fresh, flavorful offerings once had to travel to New Orleans East or the Westbank, where there were concentrations of Vietnamese immigrants and family restaurants. Now, however, this cuisine is found throughout the greater New Orleans area.

This tantalizing book brings together information and photos on the Vietnamese dishes, culture, and history in New Orleans. Recipes from restaurants such as CafMinh, Tan Dinh, and Pho Tau Bay are included. Local chefs have embraced this newest addition to the palate of New Orleans, and international luminaries such as John Besh, Emeril Lagasse, and Brian Landry have contributed their personal recipes for this volume. This immersive experience into Vietnamese culture will leave readers and cooks asking for seconds.
