In celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, 70 British Embassies and High Commissions came together from around the world to introduce recipes to be served during Royal visits.

Bun Cha (vermicelli with grilled pork and fresh herbs) recipe by Chef Do Thi Hai Ly in the Hanoi-based British Embassy was included in this cookbook.

British Ambassador to Vietnam Gareth Ward shared in the book, “Bun Cha is the pride of Hanoian cuisine. Neither locals nor visitors can resist the smell of the grill as they walk past the street food stalls. While it tastes best sitting on a low stool on the pavement, this dish is also a regular at the Residence in Hanoi, to set an informal atmosphere for guests, or to give visitors an authentic flavour of the city.”

According to the British Embassy, 100% of royalties from sales of this book will be donated to two charities The Queen's Commonwealth Trust (QCT) and The Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund (PWCF).
