"[The] new cookbook from an Austin institution offers all-day inspiration." -The Daily Meal
"Based on the menu at a celebrated restaurant in Austin, Texas, Vietnamese Cuisine from Elizabeth Street Cafe is a collection of French-tinged recipes covering everything from patisserie to pho. While the fresh and fiery taste of Vietnam is increasingly easy to find on British high streets, it's not yet in the repertoire of many home cooks (although Diana Henry's books include a smattering). That's a pity: many of the recipes in this book are healthy, quick to prepare and intensely flavoured - for example Manila clam and ginger fried rice, or green jungle curry noodles. The French colonial influence is most evident in the sweets and pastries, which include Nutella eclairs and profiteroles with strawberry-yuzu sauce."-TheWeek.co.uk
