This year I have decided to make more of an effort to learn how to cook food from Laos. I’ve often been in the kitchen with my mother and various aunties when they’ve been making this food, but I have never taken the time to write everything down. Thanks to my favourite Lao Cook, it would appear I won’t have to. Food From Northern Laos: The Boat Landing Cookbook and Traditional Recipes of Laos are two books are definitely the next cookbooks I’ll be purchasing.
