Product description

Review

"Nguyen cleverly incorporates techniques and ingredients from other parts of the world into her Vietnamese recipes to make it possible for someone almost anywhere to shop and cook on any old weeknight."
--Bon Appetit

"Nguyen's newest is as utilitarian as it is innovative."
--Publishers Weekly

"Packed with bold new recipes and expert advice, Vietnamese Food Any Day opens up a world of exciting flavors to cooks at any level. WIthin hours of getting my hands on this book, I charged into the kitchen to make Shaking Beef and Easy Soy Sauce-Glazed Zucchini. Both winners! I'll be adding these and many more of Andrea Nguyen's thoughtfully crafted recipes to my weeknight repertoire."
--Molly Stevens, author of All About Roasting and All About Braising

"Andrea Nguyen is a masterful and irrepressible guide to Vietnam's cuisine and culture. Vietnamese Food Any Day delivers big, bold flavors translated for the American kitchen. It's exotic simplicity at its best."
--Christopher Kimball, founder of Milk Street

"From beginners to more experienced cooks, everyone will benefit from Vietnamese Food Any Day, which demystifies ingredients and techniques so anyone can make extraordinary, authentic Vietnamese food at home. I've been using Andrea's recipes for years and each one has been a sure-fire hit. I'm thrilled to have this collection of favorites that are easy to master, from snacks and soups, to shaking beef and spicy sweet tofu!"
--David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen and The Perfect Scoop

Praise for The Pho Cookbook

"With the same clarity and care displayed in her previous books, Nguyen guides even the nervous first-time pho navigator to slurp-worthy success."
--NPR.org, Best Books of 2017

"Nguyen's recipes are a cook's dream...This is not unique to The Pho Cookbook; cooking from any of Nguyen's books is like listening to an incredibly patient friend explain a recipe over the telephone."
--Lucky Peach

"Nguyen is a master teacher when it comes Vietnam's national dish, and in her new book she provides meticulously clear instructions for every imaginable variety--we recommend you cook through every chapter."
--Food & Wine

"Nguyen is teaching a master class that ninth-graders can comprehend....[she] is respectfulof our time without diminishing quality."
--Food52

I was disappointed with the high price I paid for this book.
Had it been half the price or the book been twice the size in volume and thus recipes, I would have given it 4 to 5 stars as the recipes seem quite enticing.

This book is excellent – whether you are new to Asian/Vietnamese cuisine or you have already some experience with it/them (I own huge collection of Fuchsia Dunlop books). I decided to purchase this book after seeing some online videos of Andrea Nguyen cooking and was enchanted and only then I did realise that I have already own book written by her (I am really terrible with names) which was gifted to me, i.e. The Pho Cookbook, and which I absolutely adore. It has been three weeks since I got the book and I use it almost every day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente livro para comida vietnamita
Reviewed in Brazil on 20 August 2020

O livro é ótimo no que diz respeito a adaptar a comida vietnamita do dia-a-dia para o que é possível se fazer em casa com os ingredientes que se consegue comprar num supermercado de cidade grande - o principal trunfo do livro é esse. Você não precisa necessariamente ter acesso a pasta de tamarindo, folha pandan (ingrediente que não existe meeesmo no Brasil) , café vietnamita.

Além disso, os sabores são bastante fiéis aos que você come no Vietnã - não são suavizados ou ocidentalizados - e sim , usa coentro :)

I Do The Speed Limit
5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and thoughtful Vietnamese cook book for our American kitchens--a must-have, I think!
Reviewed in the United States on 11 February 2019
Verified Purchase
There is not a single recipe in this book that I would not enjoy making. And this cook book--surprisingly and delightfully--is quite a "page-turner"!

Quite the statements, but they are true. Andrea Nguyen's Viet spirit, her vast experience, her pragmatism, and her reasonable and logical way of doing things come shining through in this, her newest cook book. She is a real star in my opinion.

What's really special about this book: This author has an acute awareness of what's available in our "normal" American grocery stores and the appliances, counter and pantry space in the "normal" American kitchen. How was she able to so successfully transfer this awareness to her recipes? She paid close attention to her mother's cooking back in the mid-1970's when the family arrived in the US as refugees. No familiar Vietnamese foodstuffs to be found in the neighborhood grocery stores back then, so Vietnamese families adapted American ingredients to mimic what they had been used to in their homeland--a good example of practicality and perseverance and strength of spirit.

So, these recipes are unique, distinct and extraordinary: There is not a single ingredient in this Vienamese cook book that can't be found in any all purpose, good-sized neighborhood grocery store. (Well, finding lemongrass might cause you some extra effort, but not much.....and there is always lemongrass paste.)

Not only are these recipes mouthwatering, they are fairly easy to accomplish and master. Give me a recipe that tastes great and is quick and easy to make, and I will gladly embrace it. Make them recipes with the Vietnamese flare for balancing flavors and textures, and that's even better.

Andrea Nguyen, (last name pronounced "Win") is a fine teacher. She writes with a personable style and has so much worthwhile information to share, that there's no way you'll come away from your first read-through of this book without more knowledge and experience under your belt. And with her thorough explanations, I can't see any recipe failing for you.

After a chapter of essential ingredients and strategic shopping advice, (including some brand recommendations), comes a chapter of basic recipes. I am no longer leery of making Vietnamese caramel sauce--easy-peasy. And there are recipes for making your own basic dipping and chili sauces, and pomegranate molasses. (Her way of showing us that we don't need to rely on Asian condiments from the store shelves.)

After a chapter of uncomplicated snack recipes, comes a soup chapter. And if you are familiar with Nguyen's Pho cook book, you would know to expect the soup recipes in this book to be stellar--and they are.--all ten of them! There are helpful tips on the best store shelf stocks, and how to build a sweet note into a broth.

My favorite chapter is Chicken and Seafood: There are a handful of chicken thigh and shrimp recipes that I could live on...... There are plenty of great recipes in the Pork and Beef chapter, too.

The eleven salad and veggie recipes have me wishing for more. And really, with all the substitutions and suggestions, there are more--plenty more! And adding--even just a few--of the rice and noodle recipes to your repertoire will have all those sitting around your table praising you with big grins on their faces.

Nguyen is very generous with her tips--and they are so valuable, useful, spot-on. Some examples: Why muslin is better than cheesecloth; the difference between cane and beet sugar when caramelizing; the richest coconut milk; how to prevent noodles from sticking together after draining. And there are how-to instructions: For working with lettuces and herbs, working with rice paper, how to cut into matchsticks, and how to buy, prep and store lemongrass, and many more.

And there are plenty of tips on substitutions for creating vegetarian and vegan dishes, plus notes, for instance, on which tempeh has the most umami. And there is an entire chapter on eggs, tofu and tempeh.

Nguyen also offers alternative cooking techniques, by incorporating instructions for pressure cooking and working with a multi-cooker, and providing substitutions for utensils that we might not have.

Here is another thought: If you have Charles Phan cookbooks, and love them, but don't use them much, you will love this cook book even more. In fact, what you learn in this book will help get you back in touch with Phan's books.

Four-color pictures are well done, (but there is not a picture for each recipe). Index is sufficient. Type style, size and black ink, plus a well-designed page layout, all contribute to easy reading. After all, this is a Ten Speed Press publication and they are masters of the art of producing great cook books. Definitely take a browse through the "Look Inside" feature on this product page. If my review has not convinced you this is a wonderful book, maybe that feature can sway you one way or the other.

I bought this book as a pre-order. I recognize this author's name and her reputation, so it was no huge leap of faith that made me hit the buy button the day I first saw it advertised. I looked back to see when I purchased Nguyen's Pho cook book, and I was kind of surprised to see it was almost exactly two years ago that I bought it and reviewed it.
