Nowadays it’s hard to find authentic Vietnamese food that is both delicious and healthy – without artificial and potentially harmful ingredients. Also rare are good recipes in English for classic dishes such as Sizzling Crepes (Bánh Xèo), Asparagus Crab Soup (Măng Tây Nấu Cua), Pandan Layer Cake (Bánh Da Lợn), Vietnamese Banana Cake (Bánh Chuối Nướng), and Boiled Sweet Rice Cake (Bánh Chưng).

With Wholesome Vietnamese Cooking, you can prepare such dishes and many other favorites – with real flavors, wholesome ingredients, safe cooking techniques – and understand their effects on health. Rosette Nguyen shares a treasure trove of 100+ family recipes that have stood the test of time – through generations of practice, refinement, and enjoyment. Most of the recipes are from her native country, Vietnam, and some are popular dishes from other parts of the world such as Pot Stickers from China, Tarte Flambée from Alsace, and Berry Chocolate Cake from her own kitchen.

The recipes are user-friendly, written simply with clear step-by-step instructions which anyone – from novice home cooks to more experienced ones – can follow to produce consistently tasty, healthy dishes.
