Vietnamese Cooking Made Easy: Simple, Flavorful and Quick Meals [Vietnamese Cookbook, 50 Recipes] (Learn To Cook Series) Spiral-bound – April 15, 2005

Ethnically, I am part Vietnamese and grew up eating a diverse combination of classically American and Vietnamese dishes. Like many Vietnamese cooks my mother didn't use measuring devices, incorporating a more free form way of creating dishes. I like having a recipe as a foundation for my cooking. I take many liberties with all recipes in my kitchen. Come to think of it, I doubt I have ever followed a recipe to the tee. They serve as inspiration more than anything. That being said, I really like this book. It is colorful and simple. If you follow the recipes exactly, I would imagine your results would be quite good. The spiral-binding makes it easy to use. The basic sauces, marinades and glossary are informative and not too extensive. Everything a home cook needs to know.

They do make this a very easy to follow book. I never realized just how simple these dishes really were. Some of the more specific ingredients were a little challenging to find in my area but not impossible. I usually just stick with the pho when I go out just because the stuff is so addicting and delicious. These other recipes however are really great. Love it!

I'm VN and can't cook. Most of the dishes is okay, but not great/authentic. I'm okay with this. The best part is for a very busy person, the preparation is low and the food list is few. So, you'll love it. Again, not authentic, but fine and prep low. Still a win-win.

Love this book - the recipes are easy and fast. I was in Vietnam this year and loved the food and now I am making it at home.

This book is very short but amazing, I'd like more but that being said everything I make from this book always turns out AMAZING!

My wife and I love this book. It has many great, easy to follow recipes. Now, some of our foods tastes like we enjoyed in Vietnam.

Love my new book. I am hooked on Vietnamese cooking and this book has good home cooking.

A good all around book for Vietnamese food aficionados who wish to replicate typical recipes at home. The book doesn't have too much filler "verbiage", the text aside from recipes is pertinent, appropriate and a pleasant addition. A nice addition to a cookbook collection.
