Review

"The beautiful illustrations and mouth-watering descriptions bring Vietnamese food to life for readers of all ages. I wish I had this in my school library when I was a kid! I’m so excited to see this gorgeous guide to all my favorite foods now available to share Vietnamese culture and cuisine with the world."

Vicky Nguyen, Anchor NBC News Daily

About the Author

Cat Nguyen is a native of Houston, Texas and the daughter of two Vietnamese refugees. When she became an aunt and later a mom, Cat searched high and low for books in English about Vietnamese food and traditions without much success. She decided to write a book for Vietnamese-American families like her own. Cat works as a lawyer focusing on education and civil rights. She is a co-founder of VietLead, a non-profit that aims to connect and protect communities of color. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband, daughter, son, and their two cats.

Kim Thai Nguyen is a Vietnamese-American artist, currently based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Kim is most passionate about communicating and connecting with others through illustration and design. She especially loves drawing characters and food while using delicate lines and bright colors. She hopes her artwork in A Very Asian Guide to Vietnamese Food helps readers of all ages learn more about her culture and gather inspiration for their next meal. Follow her @thaikim.

    Very cute and general intro to Viet food but not sophisticated enough for ambitious young cook

    Enjoyed the beautiful illustrations and friendly language to Viet food and cuisine but only a few recipes (one involved peanuts which the kid chef has allergies to). Needed a more challenging cookbook for a 10 year old that really wants to try many different recipes. Otherwise, high quality materials and nice intro to Vietnamese cuisine.

    I’m part of the Reading Rainbow generation and what I loved about that show was that it opened my eyes to other cultures. If the original program was still on today, A very Asian Guide to Vietnamese Food would easily be included in the list of suggested reads. It does all the things you hope for in a book—sparks your curiosity, makes learning a language fun, and leaves you hungry for more. I enjoyed reading this book as a parent and can’t wait to share it with my kiddos. I hope that they will devour the book’s pages as quickly as I did. I promise, you will read this book over and over again…”but you don’t have to take my word for it.”
