Reviews
"Challenge your favorite cook to try something new. The book Real Vietnamese Cooking: Everyday Favorites From the Street to the Kitchen by Yumiko Adachi, Shinobu Ito, and Masumi Suzuki is exactly what the title proclaims. You will need some more exotic ingredients for a lot of these recipes but they can be sourced online. The photography is very nicely done. Some recipes are beginner-friendly, such as the coconut & peanut dumplings with sweet ginger syrup. The photos actually made my mouth water!"-Advice Sisters blog
