Product Description
Product Description
When author Andrea Nguyen's family was airlifted out of Saigon in 1975, one of the few belongings that her mother hurriedly packed for the journey was her small orange notebook of recipes. Thirty years later, Nguyen has written her own intimate collection of recipes, INTO THE VIETNAMESE KITCHEN, an ambitious debut cookbook that chronicles the food traditions of her native country. Robustly flavored yet delicate, sophisticated yet simple, the recipes include steamy pho noodle soups infused with the aromas of fresh herbs and lime; rich clay-pot preparations of catfish, chicken, and pork; classic bánh mì sandwiches; and an array of Vietnamese charcuterie. Nguyen helps readers shop for essential ingredients, master core cooking techniques, and prepare and serve satisfying meals, whether for two on a weeknight or 12 on a weekend.Reviews

Format:Hardcover
Not only the best Vietnamese cookbook I own but certainly one of the best cookbooks full stop. Beautifully presented hardcover, packed full of recipes that are detailed and authentic whilst the prologue is insightful with its detailed commentary of Vietnamese ingredients. The Beef pho listed in this book is superior to many I have eat in Vietnamese restaurants and using beef knuckle bone to make the stock. Basically this book is the first and final word on traditional Vietnamese cooking, what a Tome! My only criticism would be that it doesn't contain enough pictures, but the photography for those included is excellent and at 343 pages you can rest ensured content has not been spared meaning the choice to limit photo was out of necessity more than anything. Highly recommended!

A must for people who love vietnamese food. The recipes are authentic and reminds me so much of my mother's home cooking. Although there aren't a lot of pictures to accompany the recipes, I found the recipes very easy to follow and have had great results.
