New Orleans-based chef Nini Nguyen has developed her own version of the Vietnamese cuisine her grandmother taught her. Growing up in the land of gumbo and po-boys, and then later working in Michelin-starred restaurants like Coquette and Eleven Madison Park in New York City, Nguyen has incorporated an inspiring menagerie of ingredients and flair into a new book, “Đặc Biệt: An Extra-Special Vietnamese Cookbook.
A collection of contemporary, extra-special Vietnamese recipes, from beloved classics like Hanoi-Style Vermicelli with Grilled Pork and three variations of phở, to dishes with a New Orleans twist, like Southeast Asian Jambalaya and Sticky Fried Shrimp Bánh Mì — from “Top Chef” contestant and acclaimed chef Nini Nguyen.
In Vietnamese culture, to be “đặc biệt” is to be special and luxurious, or, as chef and cooking instructor Nini Nguyen puts it, it means adding something a little extra, like salty caviar on top of squid-stuffed pork, a surprise note of ginger and lime in a dipping sauce or sautéing shaking beef in farm-fresh butter for a creamy, delectable experience.
“Đặc Biệt” includes one hundred delicious and vibrant recipes that celebrate the essential flavors of Vietnam — salty, sour, bitter, spicy, and sweet — and the bright and perfectly balanced dishes they create.
