Sample recipes include: Stuffed Squash Soup; Vermicelli Bowls; Caramel Pork; Calamari, Pork and Pineapple Stir-fry; Fried Lemongrass Fish; and Vietnamese Tapioca and Banana. Also, in collaboration with sommelier Michelle Bouffard, Kim suggests wine pairings for these Vietnamese dishes.      Kim says that Vietnamese often display their affection more easily with food than with words.

For fans of Eat Pray Love, Wild, and H is for Hawk, The Measure of My Powers is the story of one woman''s search for self-love, experienced through food and travel."With searing vulnerability and unflinching honesty, Jackie Kai Ellis takes us on an intense and immersive journey from her darkest moments to the redemption she finds through her love of food, Paris, and ultimately, herself."--Jen Waite, bestselling author of A Beautiful, Terrible ThingOn the surface, Jackie Kai Ellis''s life was the one that every woman--herself included--wanted.

Fisher, one woman begins a journey--from France to Italy, then the Congo and back again--to find herself.
