得过大奖的迈阿密越南餐厅Hy Vong背后的**大厨所写的一本回忆录，里面谈到了复原力、友谊、家庭和食物，非常有感染力。

1975年，侥幸逃离沦陷的西贡后，变成难民的天才厨师Tung Nguyen最后在迈阿密凯西•曼宁的家中落脚。Tung Nguyen当时怀有身孕，凯西•曼宁一边读研究生，一边当服务员，当时她正在收留流离失所的越南难民。这次偶然的相遇变成了一段成了长达数十年的合作关系，最终将两个互不相识的陌生人变成了家人，将一家不起眼的小餐馆变成了全国最受赞誉的餐馆。

Tung Nguyen的严谨务实经常与Kathy的自由天性发生冲突，但随着时间的推移，她们在冲突中找到了一种和谐——这种和谐体现在餐厅的招牌芒果胡椒酱中。

A powerful memoir of resilience, friendship, family, and food from the acclaimed chefs behind the award-winning Hy Vong Vietnamese restaurant in Miami.

Through powerful narrative, archival imagery, and 20 Vietnamese recipes that mirror their story, Mango & Peppercorns is a unique contribution to culinary literature.

In 1975, after narrowly escaping the fall of Saigon, pregnant refugee and gifted cook Tung Nguyen ended up in the Miami home of Kathy Manning, a graduate student and waitress who was taking in displaced Vietnamese refugees. This serendipitous meeting evolved into a decades-

long partnership, one that eventually turned strangers into family and a tiny, no-frills eatery into one of the most lauded restaurants in the country.

Tung's fierce practicality often clashed with Kathy's free-

spirited nature, but over time, they found a harmony in their contrasts―a harmony embodied in the restaurant's signature mango and peppercorns sauce.
