The Honeysuckle Cookbook: 100 Healthy, Feel-Good Recipes to Live Deliciously by Dzung Lewis
5.0
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I had no idea about the author's YouTube channel prior to reading this cookbook. I simply saw the amazing bánh mì sandwiches on the cover and I was drawn to the idea of "healthy, feel-good recipes." This book is perfect for a cook wanting to test their hand at some recipes with Thai and Vietnamese flavors. I'm currently working my way through the soup section. I loved the *secret* ingredient in the Butternut Squash Soup and I liked that the Chicken, Lemon, and Herb Noodle Soup can be whipped up in just 45 minutes--a great option for when I don't feel like making my personal chicken soup recipe which takes 2 days! The next soups I will be making are Beef Pho and Hot & Sour Soup. In addition to the soup and salads section, this cookbook contains chapters on coffee/tea, breakfast, noodles and grains, weeknight mains, low and slow or pressure-cooking, side dishes, and desserts. In addition to the soups, I think the next recipe I will be trying for my family will be Sesame Soba Noodle Stir-Fry and I am excited to try the Vietnamese Carmelized Fish (Ca Kho To) the next time I am cooking for myself because I don't have any fellow fish-lovers in my family! Of course the desserts all sound amazing but I think I'll start with the Ginger-Cardamom Lemon Bars for me because I love lemon bars and I think these flavors would be a fun twist. The Matcha Chocolate Lava Cakes and the Vanilla-Bourbon Cream Puffs are definitely on the menu for the next time my daughter is home because she loves all of those ingredients. This cookbook hasn't been shelved since I got it because I can't stop looking through it!
