Product Description
With its array of provocative tastes and intriguing textures, Vietnamese food is becoming popular in Western cookery. But while the flavour combinations seem complex, the preparation techniques are deceptively simple, as Vietnamese chef Binh Duong and food writer Marcia Kiesel reveal in this book. With more than 150 authentic dishes ranging from coral lobster and beefy Hanoi soup to crunchy happy pancakes and sweet potato nests with shrimp, the recipes provide everything any cook needs to know to prepare a Vietnamese meal.

Just Like Mom Use to Make It
15 July 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I first tried some of the recipes many many years ago, when there was only a handful of vietnamese cookbooks, the dishes came out just like my mother's and the food I had as a child. Now that I live in Orange County, there's really no need for me to cook much anymore except for one recipe that I and my husband truly love... the Garlic Crab. We substitute King Crab Legs for the regular whole crab and dish taste so so yummy. I think the author said it's not a traditional dish, but it taste like it should be. At one time I made it so often during crab season that I thought I had the recipe memorized, but then I lost the cookbook and didn't make it as often, and my dish turned out so inconsistently that I had to get a replacement. A few words of advice though, you AND everyone in the house must really like garlic and onion because that's the beautiful scent you will smell for days. So, close the doors to all the bedrooms and enjoy the experience.
The book is full of great recipes, there are very few pictures, but there is a menu suggestion and product guide. It's for someone with cooking experience, definitely not a beginner, though some recipes are very easy to make.

Excellent cookbook!

If you're looking for easy to make, delicious vietnamese dishes, this is it. The recipes are easy to follow and the results are surprisingly good. Excellent book for those who like experimenting in their kitchen and who enjoy the taste of authentic vietnamese cuisine.

Real Vietnamese (almost)
10 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Simple Art of Vietnamese CookingThis is my second copy. I gave my first copy away to a friend who loved the recipes. The only problem I have with the book is the substitution of easy to find equivalents for the harder to find Asian ingredients. I eaten at the authors' family restaurant for over 20 years. Numerous friends have shared this experience.
