Summary
"Ant egg soup chronicles Natacha's adventures in Laos, the exotic, unspoilt and largely undiscovered neighbour of Thailand and Vietnam. It is a delightful portrayal of the people she meets, the places she visits and, of course, the food she tastes. Drinking turkey blood in a tribal village, cooking Paradise Chicken by the Kung Si waterfalls and sampling bon paa during the Festival of the Golden Stupa are just a few of the culinary experiences she has."--Jacket.
