Editorial Review: 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 flavoured yet delicate, sophisticated yet simple, the recipes include steamy phonoodle soups infused with the aromas of fresh herbs and lime; rich clay-pot preparations of catfish, chicken, and pork; classic banh mi 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - disappointedi saw that this had 20 5-star reviews so i felt confident, yet i was disappointed that this book did not contain several of my favorite vietnamese dishes (pho! spring rolls! etc). it also had very few pictures of recipes Rating:  - I'm not impressedI'm Vietnamese, I only went abroad 5 years ago to study but I went back home at least once a year so you can bet that I know how Vietnamese food should taste like!

However, I'm disappointed about this "Into ...

For many, the recipes were easy to duplicate and "tasty" in their representation. A number of my vietnamese friends use it daily in their kitchen as a resource guide to plan their daily meals. I hope that everyone at least go to their public library or find a friend that has a copy ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful introduction to Vietnamese CookingI just wanted to say that this is easily my favorite cookbook. I was new to cooking vietnamese when I bought this and it made cooking vietnamese food accessible to me. With pictures and descriptions of common ingredients, beautiful photos of finished foods, and detailed history accompanying the recipes, you really learn about the food you are cooking. The recipes are great and from what little I know from eating in vietnamese restaurants taste very authentic. My friend who was born in vietnam has served ...
