Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table: Recipes and Reminiscences from Vietnam's Best Market Kitchens, Street Cafes, and Home Cooks by Mai Pham

My home of Sacramento, California has such a wealth of wonderful Southeast Asian cultures and restaurants, including author Mai Pham's Lemon Grass, that I have never before felt the need to master Vietnamese cooking at home. However, over time my love affair with the wonderful, rich Vietnamese noodle soup Pho prompted me to buy Pham's book and attempt the elixir myself. Starting with beef knuckle bones, chuck, star anise and ginger, this savory broth (page 54) must simmer for hours, tastes show more like heaven and is well worth both the price of the book and the effort involved. show less

Wow! Numerous typos! Tsk, tsk. They make me wonder about possible typos in measurements, etc., which would most likely go unnoticed.

Note that some of the entries appear to be Mai Pham’s idiosyncratic variants of known dishes, which is NOT what I expect to find in such a book! Nonetheless, several recipes caught my eye. (See comments.)
