Vietnamese Home Cooking [2012]

When Charles Phan opened his now- legendary restaurant, The Slanted Door, in 1995, he introduced American diners to a new world of Vietnamese food: robustly flavored, subtly nuanced, authentic yet influenced by local ingredients, and, ultimately, entirely approachable. In this same spirit of tradition and innovation, Phan presents a landmark collection based on the premise that with an understanding of its central techniques and fundamental ingredients, Vietnamese home cooking can be as attainable and understandable as American, French, or Italian.

With solid instruction and encouraging guidance, perfectly crispy imperial rolls, tender steamed dumplings, delicately flavored whole fish, and meaty lemongrass beef stew are all deliciously close at hand. Abundant photography detailing techniques and equipment, and vibrant shots taken on location in Vietnam, make for equal parts elucidation and inspiration. And with master recipes for stocks and sauces, a photographic guide to ingredients, and tips on choosing a wok and seasoning a clay pot, this definitive reference will finally secure Vietnamese food in the home cook’s repertoire.

Infused with the author’s stories and experiences, from his early days as a refugee to his current culinary success— Vietnamese Home Cooking is a personal and accessible guide to real Vietnamese cuisine from one of its leading voices.

Throughout Epicurious's 17-year history, we've worked hard to create the best digital recipe collection in the world. What has made our site even better is all of you—our passionate community—weighing in with your expert ratings, reviews, and tips. All of that creativity and expertise has been available on your computer, phone, tablet, printer, and even refrigerator, but it was never available in print, until now!
We're delighted to present this collection of over 250 of the best-loved, top-rated recipes from our collection of more than 200,000 recipes. We've added menu suggestions, gorgeous new photos from the renowned Ellen Silverman, and most importantly, the community's best tips and recipes. We divided the book into four seasons, and those chapters into courses, so that it reflects how we all really cook and eat. We hope it will become your cookbook bible, a tangible treasure to pass on to family and friends.

The Golden Age Cook Book [1898]

by Henrietta Latham Dwight

This cookbook is an oldie, but a dandy. Full of great traditional recipes from North America... Perhaps not always the healthiest of foods, but will surely put a smile on all who consume the items within. Great read.
