The Red Boat Fish Sauce Cookbook: Beloved Recipes from the Family Behind the Purest Fish Sauce, (Hardcover)

The official cookbook of 100 recipes from the cult favorite and top chef lauded fish sauce brand, Red Boat Fish Sauce

You wouldn't expect a condiment made of anchovies to gain cult status--but that's exactly what Red Boat Fish Sauce did, earning praise from food titans like David Chang, Andrea Nguyen, and Ruth Reichl. What's even more incredible is the story behind its success and founder, Cuong Pham. After a year-long, post-war journey from Vietnam to America, he found himself working for Steve Jobs at Apple in 1984. All the while, he missed the tastes of his childhood--what the grocery store had just wasn't it--and set out to find what he and his family remembered so acutely.

With this collection of 100 recipes, learn how to punch up flavor in Vietnamese classics like Bún Chà and Sugarcane Shrimp--but also in favorites like Chicken Wings and Pork Roast. With behind-the-scenes stories in every chapter spanning from breakfast, dinner, snacks, desserts, and holiday celebrations, this book encompasses a true American story and is the perfect guide to using this incredible pantry staple.
