"I have been cooking my way through a beautifully textured cookbook from chef Nini Nguyen. The recipes are Vietnamese often with a New Orleans spin, like Southeast Asian Jambalaya, Curry-Blackened Fish, and Vietnamese-Style Beignets. I started with the Sticky Fried Shrimp Bánh Mì, a brilliant crossover between po'boys and bánh mì. Cornmeal-fried shrimp are topped with fish-sauce caramel. My only regret is not having napkins at the ready." - Nina Moskowitz, editorial assistant.
"It was hard to pick which recipe to make first from Kiano Moju's debut cookbook, inspired by her Kenyan and Nigerian roots, and her California upbringing. I usually don't cook meat at home, so I zoomed in on the vegetable-forward dishes. I wanted them all. But it was the chickpeas swimming in a generously spiced coconut sauce that I couldn't resist. The beans were so plump and savory, you'd have no idea they came from a can." - Nina Moskowitz.
