Praise for My Family Kitchen

Full credit then to the ex-MasterChef Australia contestant Tommy Pham for headlining his recipes with their Vietnamese names, with English subtitles for those who need it. He spins the greatest hits – gỏi cuốn (rice paper rolls) and bún gà áp chảo (lemongrass and sesame oil chicken with vermicelli) – plus home-cooking wonders such as canh chua (sour fish soup) and bò kho (beef stew). The recipes – which serve “2 adults and 2 littles” – are adaptable for baby and toddler diets, which makes this a “family” cookbook in the truest sense of the word.

Yvonne Lam, The Guardian Australia

Instead of cooking two separate meals, Tommy's recipes are about saving time by raising your kids on the food that you like and tweaking the flavours in their servings slightly. Inspired by Tommy's heritage and memories of learning to cook with his mum growing up in the south western Sydney suburb Cabramatta, My Family Kitchen highlights the "fresh and fragrant" flavours of Vietnamese food.

Jessica G. Lynch, Better Homes and Gardens Australia

It’s full of yummy (and super easy) recipes, plus a whole range of fun kitchen activities to get your kiddo interested in cooking.
