Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. 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! **eARC Netgalley** no reviews | add a review

"Author Andrea Nguyen first tasted pho in Vietnam as a child, sitting at a Saigon street stall with her parents. That experience sparked a lifelong love of the iconic noodle soup, long before it became a cult food item in the United States. Here Andrea dives deep into pho's lively past, visiting its birthplace and then teaching you how to successfully make it at home. Options range from quick weeknight cheats to impressive weekend feasts with broth and condiments from scratch, as well as other pho rice noodle favorites. Over fifty versatile recipes, including snacks, salads, companion dishes, and vegetarian and gluten-free options, welcome everyone to the pho table. With a thoughtful guide on ingredients and techniques, plus evocative location photography and deep historical knowledge, The Pho Cookbook enables you to make this comforting classic your own,"--Amazon.com.

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. ( )
