Ten Speed Press Vietnamese Food Any Day: Simple Recipes for True, Fresh Flavors

Is ok but expected more quality in the recipies

This book is excellent – whether you are new to Asian/Vietnamese cuisine or you have already some experience with it/them (I own huge collection of Fuchsia Dunlop books). I decided to purchase this book after seeing some online videos of Andrea Nguyen cooking and was enchanted and only then I did realise that I have already own book written by her (I am really terrible with names) which was gifted to me, i.e. The Pho Cookbook, and which I absolutely adore. It has been three weeks since I got the book and I use it almost every day!

My second book from Andrea Nguyen, I love her informative recipes. The broths are my favourites along with zingy dipping sauces. I’ve made the curry scented beef lettuce wraps twice because they are different and delicious. I love this book!

It's Ok but does have a tendency to cater to US tastes which are different

O livro é ótimo no que diz respeito a adaptar a comida vietnamita do dia-a-dia para o que é possível se fazer em casa com os ingredientes que se consegue comprar num supermercado de cidade grande - o principal trunfo do livro é esse. Você não precisa necessariamente ter acesso a pasta de tamarindo, folha pandan (ingrediente que não existe meeesmo no Brasil) , café vietnamita.Além disso, os sabores são bastante fiéis aos que você come no Vietnã - não são suavizados ou ocidentalizados - e sim , usa coentro :)

The best cookbook I have ever bought! I bought the book in June and have worked my way through about 1/3 of the recipes; I'm aiming to test all the recipes in this book because they are approachable, easy and most importantly - tasty! I have never had a cookbook from which I would want to cook all the recipes. Some of my favorites include: ginger-garlic fish parcels, grilled lemongrass pork chops, shaking beef, shaking tofu, spicy broccoli & herb slaw and the zesty lime-chile vinaigrette on slaw (this vinaigrette goes with many salads!). I wouldn't be too concerned whether or not the recipes are completely authentic (I was a bit worried it would be "too American") but I feel the book is true to Vietnamese flavours and would heavily recommend this book.
