Reviews

In this very engaging narrative Avieli captures the flavour and richness of everyday lowland Vietnamese life, as well as the trials and tribulations of attempting to eke out a livelihood, fit within family hierarchical structures, and correctly pay homage to the necessary deities and ancestors. Sarah Turner, McGill University [A]n important contribution to the field of anthropology, but also the field of Southeast Asian studies. General readers with an interest in Vietnamese, Southeast Asian, and Asian cuisines and/or the influences of colonialism on local foodways would find the work useful... And almost any non-academic writer planning to do food-related research anywhere in the world could take something away from the manuscript's final chapter, which discusses the practicalities of this type of research. Robyn Eckhardt, author of EatingAsia
