Three New Cookbooks Put the Spotlight on the Vietnamese Diaspora | Eater
"An island near Cambodia where the author's parents met, it serves as a central source of seafood traditions and family memory in the book: a dedicated chapter gathers coastal recipes that reflect the island's bounty and the author's ancestral ties — his father worked as a fisherman and his mother came from a family of fish-sauce makers. Those dishes are used to preserve culinary history while illustrating an immigrant approach to sustainability and technique, from honoring seafood-forward flavors to working with less-common cuts and learning how to break down fish." - Bettina Makalintal
