Khanh shares his favourite family recipes, passed down through generations and giving an insight into his family history - Vietnamese classics such as prawn and pork spring rolls or tamarind crab. There are recipes to make for (and with!) your mates - lazy brunches, epic feasts, movie nights - as well as meals to help heal a broken heart, such as spaghetti for one and snickers tart. Khanh also includes the meals he loves to cook to impress a new date, from Vegemite dumplings and sriracha and coconut cauliflower to sticky date pudding. Or if you just feel like being basic and keeping things simple, there are post-gym eggs, 3pm protein balls and the easiest fried chicken ever.

With more than 70 recipes and charming anecdotes about life, love, family and dating, A Gay Guy's Guide is an explosion of fashion-led fun and influence, delicious food and Khanh's distinctive tongue-in-cheek humour. As Khanh says, food is more than just sustenance, it's love, it's loss and it's life.
