Secrets from My Vietnamese Kitchen: Simple Recipes from My Many Mothers | 
pick3 1/2-4 out of 5.
As a cookbook... 3 ⭐️ As a lovely read 4 ⭐️ To be fair I love this kind of cook book. And the dishes I made so so far have been goooooood. Whole family loved them. Not every part of some of the recipes is spelled out as clearly as could be. But if you are willing to google a bit or just take leap I feel like you really can‘t go wrong. Going to read her other books as a result of this culinary adventure!
Acclaimed writer Kim Thúy has a cookbook! A lovely, conversational cookbook, at that, full of tasty-looking recipes and profiles on the women who‘ve informed her eating life. Almost all the ingredients are easily available at major Canadian grocery stores, too.
Tonight I took my first stab at cooking Vietnamese food: eggplant with ground pork and shrimp. It was tasty, especially once I dredged each eggplant chunk in dipping fish sauce.
1️⃣ Other than urban food deserts, nope.
2️⃣ Reasonably, yes.
3️⃣ Don't know if I'll read this week-end. There is so much to do!!! So much cooking!
