NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF FALL: Delish * ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF 2024: Esquire

Discover and enjoy the delicious, vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine with these authentic and modern recipes perfect for every home cook from social media star and acclaimed chef Tue Nguyen a.k.a. @TwayDaBae.

Popular social media super-chef Tue Nguyen (better known to many as @TwayDaBae) moved to the US with her family from Vietnam at the age of eight. When she realized she wanted to pursue a career in food, her parents didnt support her choice, despite her mother being a wonderful cook and the inspiration behind many of Tues recipes. Still, Tue went to culinary school to pursue her dreams. Since then, shes been featured in major publications like People, and her new restaurant, Didi in West Hollywood, has been covered by the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, The Infatuation, Eater, and more.

Tue honors food and culture in everything she does, and Di An exemplifies that with its authentic salty, sour, sweet, and spicy recipes, many of which have been simplified for modern cooks. Youll still find the bold flavors of lemongrass, garlic, shallots, chili peppers, and of course, fish sauce, but presented in a way that even beginner home cooks will be able to cook and enjoy at home. Just like Tues content for her growing legions of Instagram and TikTok fans, her cookbook is an invitation to share the love she has for her recipes including:

• Shaking Beef
• Braised Catfish
• Lemongrass Chili Oil Noodles
• Fish Sauce Wings
• Bo Kho Birria Tacos
• Bitter Melon Soup
• Spicy Beef Noodles
• Pho
• And more!

In addition to delicious recipes, youll find tips and tricks on entertaining, making the perfect essential sauces and condiments, and so much more to elevate even the most beginner home chefs cooking.
