ANDREA NGUYENis an author, teacher, and consultant based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Born in Vietman, she came to the United States at the age of six. Her first book, a children's book, chronicles that journey. She has written a number of acclaimed cookbooks, including Into the Vietnamese Kitchen, Asian Dumplings, and The Banh Mi Handbook. Her food writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Cooking Light, Lucky Peach, Saveur, and Rodale's Organic Life, where she is a contributing editor.
“Andrea Nguyen has done the English-speaking world a
tremendous favor with this book, the most authoritative guide
to pho I've ever seen. It dispels rumors, tells
truths, and thoughtfully chronicles Vietnam's rich but
underexplored soup culture. Andrea lays out the facts about
pho in a way that makes you slurp them down, and then chases
the lessons with a stack of recipes that will send you
directly to the kitchen. The marriage of purpose and passion
that she's brought to this book is a rare thing.”
- DAVID CHANG, coauthor of Momofuku and cofounder
of Lucky Peach
“Andrea Nguyen is the world’s greatest expert in Vietnamese
cooking. Her latest book is a stunning and comprehensive guide
to pho, that country’s most delicious food.
Everything you ever wanted to know about pho is here: how
to make it, how to eat it, its history, its regional
variations—and so much more. All lovers of Asian food need to
own this most extraordinary book.”
- JAMES OSELAND, author Cradle of Flavor: Home Cooking from
the Spice Islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore
“Andrea Nguyen is the kind of writer who doesn’t just show you
how to follow her recipes, she also teaches you how to be
a better cook. This book is a fantastic example. You’ll
learn how to make delicious pho while also gaining a whole new
sensibility around an unfamiliar pantry. Buy this book.
Cook from it. You'll end up a far better cook than you
were before.”
- PIM TECHAMUANVIVIT, proprietress of Kin Khao
"Nguyen’s recipes are a cook’s dream: well tested, easy to follow,
and written in a friendly, conversational style. This is not unique
to The Pho Cookbook; cooking from any of Nguyen’s books is like
listening to an incredibly patient friend explain a recipe over the
telephone."
- Lucky Peach
"Nguyen is a master teacher when it comes Vietnam’s national dish,
and in her new book she provides meticulously clear
instructions for every imaginable variety—we recommend
you cook through every chapter."
- Food & Wine
"With the same clarity and care displayed in her previous books,
Nguyen guides even the nervous first-time pho navigator to
slurp-worthy success."
- NPR.org, Best Books of 2017

and Vietnamese comfort food."
- Bay Area News Group
"For lovers of pho, the hearty and delicious Vietnamese noodle
soup, this is a wonderfully approachable guide to making your own
at home."
