This volume represents a new gold standard for Cambodian cookbooks, with recipes lovingly collected over years of interviews by Chef Nak, Cambodia's first female celebrity chef.

Nhum is stunningly illustrated with hundreds of pictures by photographer Nataly Lee, whose aesthetic appreciation of the flavors of her homeland is the perfect complement to Chef Nak's recipes.
