Cambodian

The Intertwined Story of Cooking and Culture in Cambodia.

So much more than a cookbook, Narin Seng Jameson takes the reader on a culinary journey back to the 1950's and 60's in Cambodia, and shares her passion for the traditional Cambodian dishes she savored as a child in Phnom Penh. It is a cultural treasure chest--one part cookbook, one part travelogue. Her recipes will send you straight to the kitchen!

Ambarella was born out of love: the love of food, of sharing, and of spending time together as mother and daughter.
In our family, food has the power to express emotions we sometimes find hard to communicate. The book started as a conversation about family recipes. Scents and flavours triggered memories and long forgotten emotions which came tumbling back from the past.
