he once-obscure cuisine of Vietnam is today a favourite for many people from East to West. It is a heady mixture of French and Vietnamese dishes, adapted and modified over thousands of years: the best legacy being the crunchy baguette that the Vi_t embraced with gusto the moment it appeared with French colonists during the second half of the 19th century. A square meal for most Vietnamese people, however, is based around rice, the wonder grain that changed forever their diet, lifestyle and social structure. Drawing on archaeological evidence, oral and written history and wide-ranging research, Rice and Baguette tells the complex and surprising history of food in Vietnam.
