[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 3 out of 5]

Food Lovers Vietnamese doesn't give you a comfortable moral cushion; Corinne Trang leaves you hanging with the uncomfortable truth about how complicit we all are.

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 4 out of 5]

What Trang, Corinne nails in Food Lovers Vietnamese: A Culinary Journey of Discovery is how systems train people to fear uncertainty so much that they willingly trade away their own autonomy.
