Cookbooks and Accolades
Into the Vietnamese KitchenThe first comprehensive full-color cookbook devoted to Vietnamese food in the English language. I work to demystify Vietnamese cuisine while bridging culinary traditions with contemporary practices. In 2007, the book was among the select finalists for a James Beard Foundation award (best Asian cookbook) and two International Association of Culinary Professionals awards (best first book and best international book).
Asian Dumplings-- I launched a site called Asian Dumpling Tips as a companion to the book. Since June 2010, new information on Asian dumplings has resided on Viet World Kitchen -- which has evolved into in an exploration and conversation on Asian food, cooking and culture.
The Asian Market Shopper iPhone app was released by Chronicle Books in May 2011. My new cookbook, Asian Tofu will be released by Ten Speed Press in Spring 2012.

RockSugar is an experimental Asian restaurant at the Century Center shopping mall. The chef Mohan Ismail is from Singapore and he does some fabulous dishes like laksa which I always order extra spicy. I also order whatever that he says is based on mother’s recipes.
