A Taste of Vietnam from Daniel Klein on Vimeo.
We are interrupting our weekly Perennial Plate episodes to bring you a quick adventure through the streets of Vietnam. Last month, we were invited to go on an Intrepid Travel trip to this fascinating country for two weeks. Our assignment was to document this food-focused journey across the country and we’re really proud of the video that came out of it. Also: Here is a winter version of a classic Vietnamese recipe.
