Sour, spicy, sweet, bitter and salty, Vietnamese food has the power to hit all your taste buds. Impaled by rogue bean sprouts and soggy rather than crisp, I have utterly massacred food writer Uyen Luu's sizzling crepes.

Vietnamese: Simple Vietnamese Food To Cook At Home by Uyen Luu is published by Hardie Grant, priced £22. Photography by Uyen Luu.
