Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Lemongrass shrimp over rice vermicelli and vegetables

    • Aggie92 on February 15, 2018

      We loved this. Super quick to put together if you prep everything ahead. Follow the directions on your package of rice noodles and not the recipe's suggestion of soaking them for 20 minutes which would have made mush. The dressing is so flavorful and wonderful. Used a serrano chile instead of a red Thai chile. The fried shallots are so tasty but I overcooked mine just a tad. They go from golden brown to almost burnt in no time at all. Had to pan cook my shrimp since it was too windy to grill.

  • Vietnamese shrimp noodle bowl (Bun tom xao)

    • Aggie92 on April 01, 2017

      Yum! We really enjoyed this. Super quick too, was on the table in 30 minutes, so it is perfect for a week night meal. My only complaint is that the nuoc cham is too watered down and too sweet. So I added an extra tablespoon of rice vinegar and a couple more teaspoons of fish sauce. The nuoc cham from Cooking Light's "Sweet potato and shrimp cakes" is better balanced with a much nicer flavor. I substituted red Fresno chiles for the serranos. Also added some shredded carrots to the bowl for a little extra crunch and color.

  • Simply Recipes

    The book is divided regionally, and I like that each section begins with a two-page spread about common ingredients, spices, herbs, and so forth...

  • Boston Globe by T. Susan Chang

    ...an eye-popping smorgasbord of streamlined global classics, most, by the way, engineered to come in under 500 calories. That’s a pretty good value for some fairly decadent concoctions.

    I'm naturally suspicious of culinary greatest hits cookbooks, typically packed with shortcuts and substitutions that don't do justice to the originals, but there's a lot of value in this compendium.

  • Chocolate baklava

    • Cookbooks for Dinner by T. Susan Chang

      I like baklava, but I’ve never been an addict. This recipe changed everything. The baklava looked perfectly OK when it went into the oven. But when it came out: Oh. My. God.
