good starter book into Vietnamese cuisine

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

it features classic Vietnamese foods. There aren't very many photos or illustrations of the final dish. The typeface seems to be consistent with when the book was published.

Many times I find the recipes are unclear - either amount of ingredient is incorrect, or what to do with a major ingredient in the recipe is missing, or a step altogether is missing, such as when to incorporate the rice flour into the batter before allowing it to proof or steam.

Many of the recipes in this book are also in Andrea Nguyen's cookbook "Into the Vietnamese Kitchen."

If given a choice for only one book on Vietnamese cuisine, I'd opt for Andrea's cookbook. This cookbook is good - it just sometimes feels like certain steps are kept secretive.

great recipe book - genuine traditional

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is my first experience with vietnamese recipes, I recently fell in love with some of the foods I've had the opportunity to try and thought I'd give it a shot on my own. I'm impressed that the recipes appear to be traditional as well as the ingredients. Its not a super fancy, modern book by any means which is just what I wanted - tasty foods just waited for me to whip them up. I found the reviews on this book especially useful prior to purchasing - they helped me determine how genuine the recipes would be.

Excellent cookbook

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a very authentic and easy to follow cookbook. When I first received it, I read most of the recipes just to get a feel of the dishes, and I'm very impressed at how thorough and very authentic they are. I made Cha Que and Cha lua for New Year's celebrations and they turned out better than the store bought, so from now on, I'll be making my own! Excellent cookbook!

Okay book. Nothing special.

Okay book here. Nothing special. I was looking for a book that I could refer to for Vietnam. However, this book wasn't it. It's okay if you know nothing about cooking Vietnamese.
