Book – Greater Mekong

After following Luke Nguyen’s food-fuelled travels through Vietnam, and then Cambodia – Australia is ready for this intrepid chef’s next adventure.

And here it is! In Greater Mekong Luke Nguyen finds the source of the mighty Mekong River – which begins its flow on the Tibetan Plateau. Nguyen then follows this beautiful river down through Asia, in search of the diverse cultures and cuisines which subsist on the life-giving, fertile earth which the Mekong supports.

Starting in South China, and then journeying through Myanmar, northern Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, before finishing in his home country – Vietnam, Luke Nguyen collects recipes which inspire, delight and give an extraordinary insight into those who eat them.
