Any advice between these books ?


HSSS is a coffee-table book. It's nice to look at, but doesn't do
much for me.


I've had good luck with this one, in spite of its totally unwieldy size.
I've made Burmese and Thai dishes that taste remarkably like what I've had
in those countries, and some delicious Yunnanese recipes although for

these
I have no basis for comparison.


So you speak here about HSSS...


I received Savoring SEA as a gift, and am surprised by how much I use it.
The Vietnamese recipes are especially good.

If you're looking for a regional cookbook, I'd say these are pretty good.


And here of SSEA...

Being the best for Vietnamese food !
Considering I already have a book by Charmaine Solomon with a chapter on
this subject ?

Philippe
