A wonderful audio excerpt from National Public Radio's The Splendid Table (June 11, 2009) about Hmong traditional cuisine with the authors of Cooking from the Heart: the Hmong Kitchen in America, Sami Scripter and Sheng Yang. Includes interesting history about the Hmong people during the Vietnam War.
This is the first cookbook to clearly set out the culinary traditions of the Hmong people as well as the significance such traditions hold, which have always been passed on through the oral tradition.
