From China to Vietnam is an evocative culinary adventure that explores Asia’s most famous river. Starting in south-west China and journeying through Myanmar, northern Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, before meandering down to the vast Mekong Delta in Vietnam, Luke Nguyen immerses himself in the cultures and communities who depend upon this life-giving river. Along the way he discovers the local cuisines and learns the heart-warming stories from the people he meets.

Filled with stunning photography and authentic recipes from each region, From China to Vietnam captures the true essence of this magnificent river: its people, food, culture and beauty.

Luke Nguyen is the owner of Sydney’s famous Red Lantern restaurants. He has written four previous cookbooks and is the presenter of several SBS cooking shows, including Luke Nguyen’s Greater Mekong, the companion to this book. Luke currently splits his time between Sydney and Vietnam.

Luke Nguyen is a renowned Vietnamese-Australian chef, best known for his television series Luke Nguyen’s Vietnam, Luke Nguyen’s Greater Mekong and more recently Luke Nguyen’s France.Born in a Thai refugee camp after his parents escaped their homeland in Vietnam, Luke’s family eventually made their way to Australia where Luke was raised in Sydney’s vibrant and storied Vietnamese quarter. His parents opened and ran a local Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Cay Du and it was this familial passion for food that first ignited Luke’s interest in Vietnamese cooking.After learning the basics from his parents, Luke trained with a number of respected chefs before opening The Red Lantern restaurant. Since then, The Red Lantern has become one of Sydney’s most acclaimed restaurants, winning Best Vietnamese Restaurant in 2009. Luke has written five previous cookbooks: Secrets of the Red Lantern, Songs of Sapa, Indochine, Greater Mekong and The Food of Vietnam. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Stunning pictures

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2017

I loved watching his programmes but this particular season was my favourite because I love far eastern food as I'm far eastern myself.

The book itself is heavy but very beautiful because there are a lot of pictures and it fits well with his journey and the food he made whilst he was there. It's got a very river/water theme throughout the book which I really liked. The pictures are stunning and large and almost as if your there where he was, truly delightful.

The recipes are fairly brilliant except a few ingredients may be difficult to get hold of depending where you live but I'm happy to leave out or substitute.

I'm happy I got the book and can't wait to get cooking some lovely food.

Rebranded book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2019

I have just received this book and though I generally love Luke Nguyen’s shows and books I am livid. I bought this new and used so can’t really send it back with any value however it is a page by page copy of Greater Mekong which I bought for a considerable price when the show was first aired. So I am very disappointed to buy the book again with no warning - this is simply recovering and renaming. I also own Indochine which I would perhaps infer is the original for the food of Vietnam book??? Is that too a rebrand? I’d check first if I were you. Not happy!

Delicious journey on the Mekong

Reviewed in Canada on 14 July 2016

Wonderful book showcasing dishes and recipes Luke prepares during his Mekong journey - as seen on tv. Most ingredients can be bought from Asian supermarkets. The odd ingredients like red ant eggs and buffalo skin would be tough to find. With all the photos from urban marketplaces to seaside vendors, to rural rice paddies, you'll feel like you're exploring the lands with him.

This is 99% the same as the Greater Mekong book. This one has a hard cover, is slightly smaller, has traditional paintings inside the covers, and "matte" pages. GM has a hard cover with a dust jacket, photo collages inside the covers, and glossy pages.

Great local recipes in a nicely done book. I recommend also "Street Food Asia" with even more stylish photos.
Along the Mekong has a lot of Fish dishes.
