Editorial Review:

The Book of Vietnamese Cooking provides a fine introduction to this elegant Southeast Asian cuisine. Author Dei-ta Hsiung gives enough information in this slim volume to explain the subtleties of Vietnamese food, how it evolved, and how it differs from that of its neighbors. In addition to a picture of the completed dish, for all 80 recipes you will find three to six color photos showing key steps in their preparation. The glossary of ingredients describes every item called for in the recipes and explains how to use them. Likewise, the section on equipment tells what you need. Both sections offer handy substitutions, such as using a deep-sided sauté pan for a wok, and lime juice in place of tart tamarind.

Along with familiar Vietnamese dishes like Shrimp Paste on Sugar Cane, Green Papaya Salad, and Chicken with Lemongrasss, The Book of Vietnamese Cooking includes such regional choices as Hot Pot from the north. Vegetarians will be pleased to find a recipe for the classic dipping sauce made without the ubiquitous fish sauce, and for Vegetarian Fried Noodles. Unfortunately, the Vietnamese names of the dishes are omitted, making it hard to associate what you find in this book with dishes you may know from a favorite restaurant. --Dana Jacobi

Editorial Review:

Ah, Vienna! Nowhere else is the butter so buttery, the cream so creamy, or the eggs so eggy. Thus you have Viennese pastry, the toast of European foodies for the last couple of centuries. The famous Apfelstrudel, Sachertorte, and gloriously multilayered Dobosztorte are all lip-smackingly represented in this tiny book of tasty recipes.

Editorial Review:

One page of deliciousness after another is what you'll find once you crack the cover of Diana My Tran's The Vietnamese Cookbook. Tran has a couple of qualifications above and beyond her Vietnamese heritage as underpinnings to this book: She has two impatient children and a very busy career. Time, then, is of the essence. And yet, she wants to pass on to her children the food of their culture--while living in the U.S.

So from the many dishes of her own childhood in Saigon Diana My Tran has simplified technique while making use of the available foods in an American supermarket. The results are quickly prepared, flavorful renditions of Vietnamese classics that give the cook the sense of what Vietnamese cooking is all about. As Tran points out, part of what it's all about is low-fat cooking with lots of vegetables--a veritable diet book.

Tran divides her book by rice, sauces, appetizers and salads, soups, main dishes, and desserts and beverages. She mixes lemon juice and lemon zest to create the Lemon Rice she serves with chicken and seafood. There's also a recipe for sticky rice with peanuts. Her sauces include such standards as Sweet and Sour Fish Sauce and Sweet and Sour Soy Sauce. Among the appetizers you will find spring rolls, both fried and fresh. Also, Shrimp Mung Bean Rice Cakes. There's a Papaya Shrimp Salad as well as a Lime Steak Salad. The wonderful Beef Noodle Soup (Pho Bo) is represented. Main dishes include Ginger Chicken, Honey Roasted Quail, Sesame Spareribs, Caramel Shrimp, Lemongrass Fish, and Vietnamese Crab Cakes.

The Vietnamese Cookbook is an easy way in to this wonderful culinary world. Let your palate be your guide. --Schuyler Ingle

I got this book as a gift and occasionally refer to it as a supplement to my other Vietnamese cookbooks. Sometimes, the recipes are a bit off (as in not 100% authentic). However, it does contain some good recipes. Improvements could be made by adding a picture and the Vietnamese name of each dish.

every recipe a winner 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I've made more than 50% of the recipes and they're all fantastic. The two that weren't *spectacular* were still very good. Instructions are clear and the recipes don't usually require copious amounts of preparation. I've given this book as a gift and I'm going to pick up her Thai book in the hopes it's as wonderful as this.

Editorial Review:

Treat yourself to the delicate aromas and tantalizing tastes of Vietnamese cuisine. The unique mixture of elements and ideas from China, Thailand, and other surrounding countries, as well as from early trading partners France and India, becomes remarkably easy to reproduce with the strikingly simple yet mouth watering recipes found here. Filled with luscious color photographs, helpful basic tips, and a glossary of terms and ingredients as well as instructions for entrees, starters, salads, desserts, and the signature noodle soups, this trove of delectable recipes captures the subtle use of herbs and spices, hot dipping sauces, and interesting combinations that give the food a surprising sophistication not normally thought of in the context of Oriental cuisine. A beautiful and lucid introduction to a magnificent culinary tradition.
