Comprehensive, well illustrated and yummy recipes

"I purchased this book first on a sale and found it so well written and clear that I decided to buy another one as a gift. The recipes are described in American and European measures (lb/oz and cups, Kg/g and spoon or metric system) making it easy for anyone to read and follow the recipes. The illustrations are very nice and the recipes cover both Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisine: many are simple to make and already brings great satisfaction to your palate. Some are more complex (making stocks can be an adventure) and very flavorful as well as inspiring. By the way, for the stocks, don't be so impressed: preparing one day the pork ribs (needing to boil first in water), save the water for a later stock for a delicious soup. Same for chicken (all stocks preserves great in the freezer anyhow so don't be scared of playing).

From a few combinations, I started to make recipes within the spirit of the cooking of the countries so, this book is very educational beyond speaking of the introductory overview of the Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisine and ingredients)."

Great cook book!

I had been looking for a good Vietnamese cookbook for a long time. Saw a copy of this while on vacation in this cozy organic restaurant. I had a chance to look through it while waiting for my meal and fell in love. Decided to order it first thing after coming back from vacation. Arrived promptly and I love it!

Fantastic value. Largely clear, easy to follow recipes, nicely pictured.
