I bought this book when my husband was working in Vietnam and said how good the food was there. So imagine how impressed I was when his response to the first thing I cooked was "tastes just like up there". That was chilli beef and noodles, and has become a staple meal in our family, along with the mild beef curry and the chicken with green beans and noodles. While the recipes sometimes seem to call for a lot of ingredients, once you have bought the basics (and some you may already have, like soy sauce and fish sauce) you probably won't have to make many one off visits to the shops for emergency supplies. The recipes make very generous serves, especially anything with rice and noodles. And I am finding that now that I live in Burma, the recipes are particularly useful for the sort of vegetables I can get cheaply and easily here as well.
