I love this book and I flew through it on the first day of having it on my pre-read list. I love Pho and getting to delve in the history of its people and where it came from was amazing. The whole feel of the introduction is rich and warm, sinking into your skin and your stomach, readying you for every delicious recipe on the pages that follow it.

I, for one, can not wait to try many of these recipes for the Pho, for fried Pho Noodles, and even the surprise Pho Cocktail at the end. ( )

A wonderfully book. First there is a good introduction to the historical and culinary background of this Vietnamese icon. Then there is a list (and details)of all the possible ingredients and then there are ,of course, the recipes,not just the standard pho but also some of its derivatives...just mouth-watering.
Thanks to netgalley for this very nice opportunity . ( )

A gorgeous, in-depth guidebook to the history, traditions and making of Pho.

Included are several recipes for pho, from 'quick and easy' to more 'adventurous' preparations. The 40 minute Quick Vegetarian Pho recipe did not look so 'easy' to me. It also looked as if it might take more than 40 minutes. Of course, the 40 minutes did not include pan searing the tofu or making the requisite sauces. Still looks worth it though...

Recipes for accompanying sauces, sides, and beverages help round out the pho meals. There are a handful of vegetarian versions and sides, however the book does not aim for being vegetarian pho cookbook.

The book is beautiful and shows great respect for pho, and certainly has inspired me to make some Quick Vegetarian Pho. I will report back with updates on ease and reliability of the recipes!
