Does anyone know which issue contained a recipe for "pho" Vietnamese beef soup? OR does anyone have the recipe?
Thanks! Eve

When in doubt, I usually try one of CL's recipe indexes off the site. They've got lists of recipes from 1994 through 2000.

Coming up empty (if the recipe was this year, I no longer have every issue) until Grace shows up to search her CL library, I can only offer you non-CL recipes. If you check SOAR (Now called RecipeSource) at http://www.recipesource.com/ and run a search on pho, you will come up with no less than 11 recipes. Hopefully one will be right if the CL recipe doesn't surface.

Good luck. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I was all set to type up the recipe for you when I discovered that I have also lossed my March CL!! The issue came out before my subscription started, so i don't even know if I ever had it (what was on the cover - that usually jars my memory!) I have every other issue from 2001 - just not March.

Anyway - I also would love to make the Pho. I just ate wonderful Beef Pho in a local Vietnamese restaurant - it was so good, I went back again two days later!! Anyway, If someone would please type up the recipe, I would be quite thankful.
