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

Steet Food is my theme for December. Wife is gone, gotta new cat..

Again thanks !

Will then "Savoring Southeast Asia" bring further recipes
specially concerning Vietnam ?

By all means, *buy* Charmaine (squeezeably soft) Solomon's books. I
honestly reccommend her "Encyclopedia of Asian Ingredients" over any
other book on the market.

Bruce Cost's and several of the Culinaria Series (from a German
Publisher) come in second place for me - but are also excellent reads.

I have :

Die Küche Asiens by Charmaine Solomon (German translation)
La cuisine vietnamienne et chinoise by Nguyen Ngoc Rao

Thanks and regards,

Philippe

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.

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.

So you speak here about HSSS...

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 ?

Phillippe, I'm not sure what you're looking for, do you want to replace the
C. Solomon book or add to your collection?

If I were giving a gift, I'd give HSSS (it reads very well in addition to
being a good cookbook). If I were buying for myself, and I had the Solomon
regional book, and liked the results, I'd skip these two and instead look
for country-specific books for those cuisines I like the most.

I do have multiple cookbooks for SE Asia, and I do use both these books
regularly, usually in addition to a country-specific book when making a meal
from that country.

Don't know if that helps...

I cook a lot of Vietnamese food, and I think "The Simple Art of
Vietnamese Cooking" by Binh Duong & Marcia Kiesel is the best one out
there. It has the best selection of recipes and comes as close to
'authentic' as I know of from eating at a lot of vietnamese
restaurants here in the U.S.

Although expensive ($86 US, and up) it *is* available used on
amazon.com.

I woiuld go with this. I'm currently reading her general Asian book
and from what I can tell she writes pretty well of vietnamese cuisine.
Which reminds me...next post...
