The couple behind the brand is not only sharing Vietnamese culture and cuisine, but also the vibrant flavors and quality of Vietnam’s herbs and spices as they are meant to be tasted. Their editor, Tien Nguyen, interviews writer and author Monique Truong about the use of salt as a literary device. The result is an extraordinarily beautiful take on an ordinary seasoning and the metaphors it can inspire. They also have some lovely essays, including one about how a bike ride–turned–foraging expedition in Texas transports the writer and private chef Umair Khakoo back home to Pakistan. Ruby Robina Saha writes about the colonialist history of nutmeg from Indonesia’s Banda Islands and how it destroyed a culture (and created New York City as we know it). Daphne K. Jenkins talks about the love for li hing mui with Neale Asato from Asato Family Shop in Hawai‘i, and shares recipes featuring this sweet, salty, and tangy powder. Synonym's frequent contributor Kat Hong speaks with Taiwanese\/Japanese comedian, Atsuko Okatsuka, about the Cheesecake Factory and the bay leaf conspiracy, as you can imagine it’s pretty hilarious.

(Full disclosure: one of their editors, Tien Nguyen, co-authored the cookbook.) Ruby Robina Saha interviews Indigenous chef Sean Sherman for our “Shelf Life” column, where he shares the American ingredients he always keeps on hand.
