After emigrating from Saigon to LA at the age of five, my mother ensured we remained tethered to our roots with the warmth of homemade Vietnamese meals. As I began my own family, I yearned for those nostalgic flavors, reaching out to my mom for recipes. Her answers, like many immigrant parents, were endearingly vague: “A little bit of this, a little of that.” Thus began my quest to meticulously document authentic Vietnamese recipes, ensuring precise measurements and instructions to faithfully recreate the dishes close to my heart.

These recipes are a cherished legacy for my children, so they too can savor their heritage. For those familiar with these dishes, may they rekindle fond memories. And for those just beginning their Vietnamese culinary journey, prepare for a delightful experience.

Thanksgiving Edition 2024

As a special for the month of November, I’m thrilled to share my Thanksgiving menu with you—a collection of recipes I’ve been perfecting for over a decade. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, bringing together family, friends, and, of course, incredible food. It’s a time for gathering around a table filled with comforting dishes and beautiful presentations. I hope you’ll be inspired to try one (or maybe all!) of these recipes and experience the mouthwatering aromas, rich textures, and unforgettable flavors they bring to the celebration.
