I guess it isn’t exactly cooking in the normal sense, but we’re prepping for the cookbook. I came up with a pretty good list of Vietnamese foods we came to love while living there and now it’s time to prepare and photograph each one of them. Tonight it was sinh tố bơ, otherwise known as an avocado shake, and Vietnamese yogurt, sữa chua.

With our out-of-season heat today, it was the perfect dessert!

One of my very favorite recipes, this scrap of paper followed us through two trips to Vietnam and six kitchens. It’s been well used and has the oil/fish sauce stains to prove it.

It’s just one of 15+ recipes in the cookbook I am making for the campaign. If you’re interested in it, check out the Indiegogo page to find out how to make it yours.
