One hundred recipes fusing Vietnamese and New Orleans cooking from chef and cooking instructor Nini Nguyen, born and raised in New Orleans by Vietnamese immigrants.
Dac biet means special or luxurious in Vietnamese — the philosophy of adding something a little extra, whether that's salty caviar on squid-stuffed pork, a surprise note of ginger and lime in a dipping sauce, or farm-fresh butter in shaking beef. The recipes celebrate the essential flavors of Vietnam — salty, sour, bitter, spicy, and sweet — expressed through dishes like Charbroiled Oysters in Chili Butter, Viet-Cajun Seafood Boil, and Phở with Everything.
