Ever-Green Vietnamese: Super-Fresh Recipes, Starring Plants from Land and Sea: A Plant-Based Cookbook

Plant-based cooking meets the dynamic flavors of Vietnamese cuisine in these 125+ recipes and variations-from the James Beard Award-winning author of Vietnamese Food Every Day

In Ever-Green Vietnamese, Andrea Nguyen details how cooks in her home country draw on their natural resourcefulness and Buddhist traditions to showcase a wide array of herbs and vegetables in flavorful, comforting recipes.

Filled with the brilliant advice and exceptional teaching Nguyen is known for, the book offers recipes for flavor-boosting condiments and sauces (her incredible DIY vegan fish sauce), exciting ways to enjoy tofu, and dozens of vegetable-driven sides and mains, including a few that incorporate a bit of meat (many with vegetarian or vegan options).
