Author, journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung

Journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung is a native of Hanoi, with a special passion for the culinary culture of Thang Long - Hanoi.

With over 30 years of working as a journalist at Hanoi Radio and Television Station, she has devoted much of her time to collecting, recording and recounting memories about food and the lifestyle of the old Hanoians.

Her works do not only stop at recipes and cooking methods, but also recreate cultural spaces and everyday stories associated with each dish.

Specialties from all directions is volume 3 of the book series Hanoi old flavors, a detailed and meticulous study of the typical dishes of the capital, contributing to preserving the culinary memories of Hanoi, while expanding the diverse picture of Vietnamese culinary culture.

Along with the release of Specialties from Four Directions , the previous two volumes of the book series are also reprinted, including Memories from the Old Quarter Kitchen and Delicious Dishes from the Village to the City.

In volume 1, the author not only brings stories about choosing ingredients, processing methods, presentation methods, enjoyment methods, invitations... but also stories about the lifestyle and thinking of Hanoians. In volume 2, the author goes deeper into describing each dish associated with old Hanoi, specialties of each region that seem to have been forgotten: dried cakes from Ve village, pickled rice cakes from Trieu Khuc village, banh chung from Tranh Khuc, bamboo shoots and squid from Bat Trang... are recreated through each line of nostalgia.

The book series "Ha Thanh Huong Xua Vi Cu" contains a rich culinary treasure of Hanoi and other provinces and cities across the country.

And if in the first two volumes of Hanoi - Old Flavors , Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung took readers on a tour around "Hanoi's Thirty-Six Streets" to enjoy the cuisine of Thang Long - Hanoi, then in Volume 3 - Specialties from Four Directions , the author "travels" with readers to four directions, discovering and sharing culinary culture from North to South, from the sea to the forest, from the countryside to the city, from ancient to modern, from West to East... expressing rich life experiences and refined tastes.

"Specialties from all over the world" expands with many flavors from all over the world converging in Hanoi

The culinary cultural space in the Four-way Specialties Convergence has expanded a lot with the flavors of the country converging in the land of Hanoi, bringing Hanoi's culinary culture into modern Vietnamese culinary culture, such as: The story of Hue beef noodle soup in Hanoi , Chinese rice before and after , Nga Son eel salad in the city...
