Synopsis
A deeply personal story of two unlikely friends who bonded through food and, against all odds, turned a four-table restaurant near Miami's Little Havana into a nationally acclaimed destination. Book jacket., A powerful memoir of resilience, friendship, family, and food from the acclaimed chefs behind the award-winning Hy Vong Vietnamese restaurant in Miami. IACP AWARD WINNER: Literary or Historical Food Writing Through powerful narrative, archival imagery, and 20 Vietnamese recipes that mirror their story, Mango & Peppercorns is a unique contribution to culinary literature. In 1975, after narrowly escaping the fall of Saigon, pregnant refugee and gifted cook Tung Nguyen ended up in the Miami home of Kathy Manning, a graduate student and waitress who was taking in displaced Vietnamese refugees. This serendipitous meeting evolved into a decades-long partnership, one that eventually turned strangers into family and a tiny, no-frills eatery into one of the most lauded restaurants in the country. Tung's fierce practicality often clashed with Kathy's free-spirited nature, but over time, they found a harmony in their contrasts--a harmony embodied in the restaurant's signature mango and peppercorns sauce. IMPORTANT, UNIVERSAL STORY: An inspiring memoir peppered with recipes, it is a riveting read that will appeal to fans of Roy Choi, Ed Lee, Ruth Reichl, and Kwame Onwuachi. TIMELY TOPIC: This real-life American dream is a welcome reminder of our country's longstanding tradition of welcoming refugees and immigrants. This book adds a touchpoint to that larger conversation, resonating beyond the bookshelf. INVENTIVE COOKBOOK: This book is taking genre-bending a step further, focusing on the story first and foremost with 20 complementary recipes. Perfect for: Fans of culinary nonfiction Fans of Ruth Reichl, Roy Choi, Kwame Onwuachi, and Anya Von Bremzen Home cooks who are interested in Asian food and cooking, A powerful memoir of resilience, friendship, family, and food - and the good that comes from embracing our differences - from the acclaimed chefs behind the award-winning Hy Vong Vietnamese restaurant in Miami, with 20 recipes.
