Vietnam is a country of rare beauty with towering mountains, lush forests, emerald green rice paddies and miles of coastal beaches. It also offers some of the finest food in the world. This uniquely subtle, complex cuisine draws influences from China, India and France. The beauty of Vietnamese cuisine lies in its insistence upon cooking with only the freshest possible ingredients and combining them in a way to best showcase their natural flavors.
