"This is a book about soup, noodles and noodle soup – specifically the addictive (and increasingly ubiquitous) beef noodle soup of Vietnam. If you think that wrangling beef bones, fish sauce, Thai basil, ginger, etc. into the sublime elixir known as pho was well beyond your skillset, Andrea Nguyen begs to differ. With the same clarity and care displayed in her previous books, Nguyen guides even the nervous first-time pho navigator to slurp-worthy success. And it’s not just pho – the rest of the book abounds with stir-fries and weeknight noodle dishes that will make you fall in love with lemongrass and garlic all over again. Buy without hesitation, cook with confidence and … pronounce with care."
