Noodle Pillows
A journey through Vietnamese food and culture
By Peta Mathias
If you can say that food is love, then the Vietnamese are overflowing with it. "I was in Vietnam for the first time in my life, on the trail of pho - that simple but complex soup which is Vietnam in a bowl, heaven in a spoon, culture in a sip."
Peta Mathias' quest for the perfect pho takes her on a culinary journey through Vietnam, from crowded Hanoi and exquisite Ha Long Bay in the north, through the ancient imperial city of Hué and romantic Hoi An in the centre, to the food capital Saigon and the country's bread basket, Can Tho, in the south.
