Stuck in a cooking rut? Tired of making the same dishes over and over again? Then, it’s time to branch out – try something a little different. When I’m stuck in a cooking rut my favorite thing to do is experiment with international dishes like curries, marinades, soups, and appetizers.
Recently, I started to think about some of the dishes I used to make (before kids) and it made me think about Vietnamese cuisine and how much I missed it. Let me just say, the flavor profiles are amazing! I love to combine spicy, sweet, salty, and savory whenever possible. Of course, my three-year-old won’t eat most things. That’s okay, sometimes parents just need to make something tasty that’s just for the grownups. My favorite Vietnamese dishes are Lemongrass Chicken, Pho, and String Beans.
Luckily, there are a variety of local markets in northwest Ohio, so it’s easy to find the ingredients needed to experiment with tasty dishes from around the world. So, take the leap and try your hand at a recipe you’ve never tried before, because let’s face it – making the same old recipes every week gets old after a while.
Below, you’ll find a selection of Vietnamese cookbooks to get you started on your next cooking adventure. Enjoy!
