About the book:

From Vietnam to the East Village, husband‑wife duo Jimmy Ly and Yen Vo, chef and owners of critically acclaimed restaurant Madame Vo, bring big, bold southern Vietnamese flavors to homestyle cooking in this cookbook

Madame Vo, which opened in New York City’s East Village in 2017, quickly became a destination, changing how the city enjoys Vietnamese food. This cookbook features the authentic, modern recipes that made Madame Vo famous, alongside Ly and Vo’s story of how their families fled war and built a life in the United States, how they met and fell in love, and how they launched and now run the restaurant together.

With more than eighty simple-to-follow recipes Madame Vo will teach you everything you need to know to start cooking Vietnamese food at home.

Madame Vo is a restaurant rooted in family recipes and Vietnamese history. Ly and Vo’s stories were shaped by their parents’ decision to gather their families and leave everything they knew for America—Vo was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and Ly was born in Queens after his parents fled their home during the Vietnam War.

With the talents of award-winning writer Dan Q. Dao, this narrative-driven cookbook includes Ly and Vo’s stories, all the hits from the restaurant, and what you need to know to start cooking Vietnamese food at home. This book is a love letter from Madame Vo to the restaurant’s community and new readers alike, accessible and encouraging for any Vietnamese food enthusiast.
