Hello, I am a slavish lover of this cookbook having renewed from the library many times...It’s my next purchase and I’m so excited. I hope others enjoy it as much as I have, all the best!

I love your handle, Que Sera Sera! Moreover, you're a fellow cookbook lover. Checking them out of the library is a great way to see if a cookbook is for you. I used to do that and when I'm doing research, will go to the library, if I don't have a particular title. Also, I've done events at libraries and the American Library Association convention (they're party animals!).

I'm thrilled that you'll be adding Ever-Green Vietnamese to your permanent collection.

Made the Tofu-Mushroom Curry tonight and it was outstanding!!! Served it with a simple stir fry of greens and Jasmine Rice with vegan nuoc cham and it was such a good meal. Made plenty for leftovers tomorrow. Such a great book. Going to update my amazon review now to say something about this recipe (it is already 5 stars).

OMG -- that was so incredible. She only had 3 favorites and EGV was at the top of the list. Thank you for the link!

I am ordering your new book right now. It is my dream to cook Vietnamese cuisine but I have been intimidated because I never have all the right ingredients- even though I have access to good Asian markets. I can’t wait! Thank you for the informative FAQ and cookbook sales primer. Best wishes! Susie

Thank you, Susie! You can cook Vietnamese food and I can help -- borrowing a bit from Home Depot. You know how to find me if you have questions! I can't wait to see what you cook up.

I just ordered your book and I’m excited to try the recipes, since I, too, need to eat more vegetables. I was glad your commenters brought up the library, because I live in a small town and I think they’d like to have some of my old cookbooks that I no longer use. I’m keeping only my favorites, your cookbooks among them. Also, I intend to buy copies of Ever-green for my sister and cousin. Thanks for your inspiration!

I just got a notice that this book, which I requested, is IN at my local library! 🙌🏻 Can’t wait to pick it up and try things. (I’ve been making tofu on the regular thanks to the very thorough and encouraging info in your Asian Tofu book. Have a feeling it might come in handy…)

I finally getting to read this book and not only is it less meat and fat, it’s even lower sodium than I expected.

I'm so happy for this feedback, Ellen! I suggest a sodium level that works for me and hope it's alright for other folks. I know many people are concerns about high salt in food. Cooking at home is the best way to control that. Hoooray!
