Phonomenal Nights

Dinner parties—but make it Viet, with wildly creative recipes and innovative cocktails with a Vietnamese twist.

Meet the book that takes entertaining from bland to legendary and piles the table high with color and crunch.

Phởnomenal Nights is your ultimate guide to throwing a Vietnamese-style party that nobody wants to leave. Think interactive wrap feasts, show-stopping party boards, and cocktails so good they'll spark a karaoke session. Every recipe carries the spirit of a family who built a community from scratch—one bowl of phở at a time.

Fish sauce is your new best friend. Fresh herbs are non-negotiable. Stuffy? Absolutely not.

As the beating heart of Seattle's Little Saigon, authors and James Beard semifinalists Yenvy and Quynh-vy Pham have one mission: feed everyone, and feed them well. Whether you're hosting two people or twenty, the Phở Bắc sisters are pulling up a chair and showing you exactly how it's done.

Looking for your next Friendsgiving hit, weeknight dinner savior, or party move that sparks a chorus of “Whoa, what is THAT?” You’ll be throwing a Viet party packed with flavor in no time with sizzling spring rolls, “snack your way through the night” party boards, dumplings, buttery roasted chicken phở, and unforgettable cocktails.

The Pham family’s wild stories mingle with doable, crowd-pleasing recipes:

• Salmon ceviche on black sesame crackers
• Wrap feasts overflowing with roasted lemongrass ribeye
• Make-ahead Prawn and Brown-Butter-Leek dumplings

Divided into five sections covering batch cocktails (Cà Phê Jello Shot, anyone?), wraps you can make tableside, extra fancy party boards (impressive looking, yet actually simple), make-ahead dumplings, and one-pot wonders that can simmer all day, this is the essential entertaining cookbook you didn't know you needed.

With Phởnomenal Nights, every night shared with friends and family is a phenomenal night. Loud, generous, and completely delicious. Just like the best parties always are.
