  • Yea, its free if you download via Itunes on your comp. But via iBooks on the phone, its coming up as $8.99.

    • I downloaded it free direct to iPhone from the click through by the OP about 45 minutes ago.

      How to Pronounce Nguyen

      Seriously though, this is probably the most correct way for a non-Viet speaker to pronounce it.

      Every group of letters (i.e. "word") in Vietnamese is pronounced with a single syllable. The longest group of words in Vietnamese is a mere 7 letters, but words can consist of more than one syllable.

  • we all know the free version contains the shittest recipes

      lol vietnamese food and cuisine in the same sentence

      What? Street food is as much cuisine as the food at a three Michelin-starred restaurant is cuisine. "Cuisine" is the characteristic style of food associated with a particular culture — it doesn't imply anything more than that. Calling something "cuisine" does not mean the food has to be high-brow.

      In any case, Vietnamese cuisine does not consist solely of street food; far from it. Wikipedia on Vietnamese cuisine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_Vietnam

      • I think he is confusing 'cuisine' with 'gourmet'. Having said that, you can have gourmet Vietnamese food too.

        • i put roasted eggplant and sundried tomato in my rice paper roll, yumz

  • So it is some recipes selected from his book and it is still normally 8.99?

    • It is still free for the moment, I've just downloaded it.

  • It's my beloved hometown. But the tastes of (the) cuisines there are much different to the ones here so Luke Nguyen's attempts may not be quite successful.
