Secrets of the Red Lantern
Secrets of the Red Lantern (subtitled Stories and Vietnamese Recipes from the Heart) is much more than a collection of authentic recipes from successful Vietnamese restaurant Red Lantern, located in Sydney – Click here for more information. This book is the honest, difficult story of the Nguyen family as told by daughter Pauline. It documents their escape from Vietnam and eventual resettlement in Australia. At the heart of this story is a love of food – it helped to placate homesickness, became central to their early success in Australia, and was sometimes the only language the family could use to communicate with each other. Apart from the story, the book also contains a collection of some of the best Vietnamese recipes that we have come across at Wickedfood cooking school, supported by some superb food photography. It is a book that we will certainly be referring to when we draw up recipes for future Vietnamese cooking classes.
