From Honeybees to Pepperwood - Creative Lao Cooking with Friends
The waiting is finally over and all at Friends-International are delighted to announce the publication of our much anticipated new cookbook From Honeybees to Pepperwood – Creative Lao Cooking with Friends. This latest addition to the award-winning series of Friends cookbooks turns the focus onto Makphet, our internationally recognized restaurant in Vientiane City, Laos.
Our team of students and teachers visited seven provinces and traveled nearly 3,000 kilometers collecting recipes for the book, including visits to four ethnic tribes to ensure that the true taste of Lao culture was reflected in the contents.
From Honeybees to Pepperwood is much more than simply a collection of recipes. It tells the stories behind many of the dishes, combining cooking tips with quirky anecdotes which will raise a smile. The vibrancy and beauty of the Lao people and countryside overflow its pages, the stunning color photography enhanced by amazing paintings and drawings from children that Friends-International work with.
The official launch of the book, which is written in English and Lao (and will also be published in French and Lao), will take place in Vientiane on June 2nd, with a Cambodian launch planned for the very near future.
