Little Vietnam Cookbook by Huynh Nhut. Little Vietnam brings together 80 authentic recipes that capture the energy, colour
and excitement of Vietnamese cooking.
Acclaimed Vietnamese-Australian Chef Nhut Huynh shares his passion for the food that
sustained his family during times of war and separation, and that remains a defining feature of
Vietnam's wonderfully rich culture. He introduces traditional classics alongside the eclectic
street-stall dishes he has collected on his many trips back to visit friends and family. We learn
how to cook restaurant favourites such as Beef Noodle Soup and Salt & Pepper Squid, as well as
more exotic dishes like Crab with Tamarind & Chilli. Throughout, Nhut offers practical tips on
sourcing ingredients and mastering cooking techniques.
Beautifully photographed, this book inspires us to re-create the food so many of us have
enjoyed as travellers or in the Vietnamese restaurants that are now so much a part of
Australian life.
About the Author
Nhut Huynh came to Australia from Vietnam as a refugee in 1984, having escaped with 60
others on a fishing boat. After 6 months in a Red Cross camp in Malaysia he arrived in Sydney
like many before him without money, friends or the English language. Today he is a successful
chef, business owner, TV and corporate presenter and author. In 1999, he met Jeremy
McNamara, who was to become his business partner. Together they have carved a place in
Sydney's cutthroat restaurant scene with their very successful RQ restaurant and more recently,
their Snakebean Asian Diner and catering business. They share a great passion for food and life.
Nhut is also involved in a charity called KOTO (Know One Teach One) which is a non-profit
restaurant and catering industry vocational training program for disadvantaged youth and street
kids in Vietnam. His philosophy is to give something back by helping disadvantaged youth in
Vietnam by sharing his professional skills and training and has been actively involved for a
number of years. When he ran RQ Restaurant he sponsored a kitchen student and front-of house student from the program to give them on-the-job training in Australia.
