An authentic little cookbook for those who love pho and noodles。 Suitable for beginners。It of course focuses on noodle dishes， but it also includes some appetizers， sandwiches， condiments， coffee drinks and sweets。

The delicious recipes in this cookbook are clearly explained and well worth trying！ I had no previous experience with preparing Vietnamese foods， but was able to follow the instructions。 My family liked everything that we tried。I received a free electronic copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。

Thorough and inviting invitation to bring Pho into your home and healthy meals。 You will be amazed with the depth of the flavors and many recipes beyond what you may have tried while eating out。 It all begins with the broth！

I saw this book offered on the giveaways， and ordered it from Amazon。 I received it yesterday and spent the night pouring through it。 It did not disappoint， it went beyond expectations！ Not only does it go into detail （I now know the secrets behind the clear， tasty broth that is the backbone of the wonderful pho。。。。） I can make the Bahn Mi sandwiches， as well as spring rolls and pancakes！ I plan on ordering another for a gift， it was that impressive！

There are some magical dishes on this planet and pho is definitely one of them。A very tasteful and savoury broth served with fragrant "toppings"such as rice noodles，bean sprouts，fresh herbs， lime juice，sliced chillies，spring onions。。。and so much more。You just know it is going to taste fabulous。So this a cookbook about pho，but not just pho。There are also recipes for several different spring rolls，crispy roasted porc，noodle dishes，vegetarian（and vegan）alternatives，condiments and not to forget， th There are some magical dishes on this planet and pho is definitely one of them。A very tasteful and savoury broth served with fragrant "toppings"such as rice noodles，bean sprouts，fresh herbs， lime juice，sliced chillies，spring onions。。。and so much more。You just know it is going to taste fabulous。So this a cookbook about pho，but not just pho。There are also recipes for several different spring rolls，crispy roasted porc，noodle dishes，vegetarian（and vegan）alternatives，condiments and not to forget， the famous Vietnamese sandwich，bánh mì。The recipes are not unduly complicated and therefore well within everybody's reach。Of course you'll need many different ingredients but then Asian cuisine， in general， tends to use just more than pepper and salt。 As for the photographs， they are really mouth watering and just cry out:try me！Very well， pho is on the menu next week ！ 。。。more

One of the joys of visiting Vietnam is the wonderful food。 "Simply Pho" helps you bring a little of the magic into your home。 Le gives instructions from starting from scratch （or starting from purchased noodles） to bring a wide variety of Vietnamese food from pho and beyond。My copy was a gift through Goodreads First Reads。 One of the joys of visiting Vietnam is the wonderful food。 "Simply Pho" helps you bring a little of the magic into your home。 Le gives instructions from starting from scratch （or starting from purchased noodles） to bring a wide variety of Vietnamese food from pho and beyond。My copy was a gift through Goodreads First Reads。 。。。more

I got an ARC in return for an honest review on NetGalley。Look at that cover。 My mouth waters every time I look at it。 After reading this book， I ate nothing but Ramen and Pho。 I dragged my family and friends with me。 They are so fed up with soup， but I don't think I could ever tire of pho。 There are gorgeous pictures throughout the book of the different dishes and I am beyond excited to be able to start cooking these at home。The recipes range from easy to "I could never make that even if I had h I got an ARC in return for an honest review on NetGalley。Look at that cover。 My mouth waters every time I look at it。 After reading this book， I ate nothing but Ramen and Pho。 I dragged my family and friends with me。 They are so fed up with soup， but I don't think I could ever tire of pho。 There are gorgeous pictures throughout the book of the different dishes and I am beyond excited to be able to start cooking these at home。The recipes range from easy to "I could never make that even if I had help" level。 I have only started to try these recipes， so I can't vouch that they are all as amazing as they look。 The ones I have sat down with have been amazing。 I can't wait to try more。 Just have to stock up on bones and a few other ingredients I don't normally keep around the house。This is one of two cook books I have ever sat down and read cover to cover。 I loved that there were notes about the dish like the different variations and where they were popular in Vietnam。 I felt like I was learning more than just how to make good food， I was learning about a culture。 That is something I love。 I found out that food was a whole branch of sociology and I wish I would have known that when I was in school。 That would been another major！I highly recommend this book。 I can't wait to see more。 To see more book reviews check out https://mibookreviews。wordpress。com/ 。。。more

This cookbook is AMAZING！ The pictures are great and the instructions are precise。 Most of the ingredients are easily accessible。 Vietnamese recipes are very simple and fresh。To my greatest delight， there is even a recipe for bahn mi， a Vietnamese baguette that is used for my favorite Vietnamese sandwiches。

This is a beautiful cookbook， which lots of information about making pho broth。 The broth is really what makes the pho， and anything else you add is optional。 I would buy the book as pho is an inexpensive dish to make at home if you make the broth ahead of time。

This is a really well done book for authentic vietnamese dishes。Beautiful pictures。 Easy to understanding recipes and directions。 And definitely introduces cooks to a whole range of recipes in the vietnamese cuisine。 Overall， it feels like there are some recipes I would love to try on my own and others that seem a bit more complicated so these is probably a better book for a more adventurous cook。

Simply Pho by Helen Le is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early September。As long as I've lived near St Paul， Minnesota， and near the largest population of Hmong and Karen people outside of Southeast Asia， I've really， reeeeeally enjoyed pho and have wanted to learn how to make it at home。 Luckily， Le gives excellent direction for constructing a bowl of pho， and offers recipes for pho soup， pho dishes， vermicelli soups， vermicelli dishes， other kinds of noodle soups and dishes， sandwiches， Simply Pho by Helen Le is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early September。As long as I've lived near St Paul， Minnesota， and near the largest population of Hmong and Karen people outside of Southeast Asia， I've really， reeeeeally enjoyed pho and have wanted to learn how to make it at home。 Luckily， Le gives excellent direction for constructing a bowl of pho， and offers recipes for pho soup， pho dishes， vermicelli soups， vermicelli dishes， other kinds of noodle soups and dishes， sandwiches， snacks， drinks， and desserts。 Some may think the author's way of placing the ingredient list all the way to the left and the instructions/technique on the right to be a little crowded and disorganized （i。e。 separating the ingredients and steps to make the broth， aromatics， and meat/noodles/veg of the soup）， but I think it's really expedient （and I'll be hovering over my e-reader as I cook on the stove and would rather not need to swipe back and forth frequently）。 My favorite recipes are pho noodle soup with roasted duck， crispy pho pillows with salmon， pork and mushroom vermicelli noodle soup， and grilled pork sandwich （banh mi）。 。。。more
