Hello, and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today, I have an interview with Tue Nguyen. Tue is a Vietnamese chef and one of the fastest-rising stars in the culinary space. Since graduating from culinary school and beginning her content creation journey, Tue has showcased her skills through social media as well as sold-out pop-ups, which led her to partnering with the h.wood Group to open her restaurant DiDi in Los Angeles. In our conversation today Tue and I talked all about her new cookbook Di An, The Salty, Sour, Sweet and Spicy Flavors of Vietnamese Cooking and how she got started on her food journey. For her cookbook project she discusses her love for nostalgia, her passion about her Vietnamese food heritage, and the joy of creating a community of food enthusiasts all around Vietnamese cooking. Tue also shares her tips for you getting started with Vietnamese cooking with a discussion of the ingredients to stock in your pantry and we discuss recipes from her book – some that are classics, some that are  internet famous, and some from her pop-up cooking locations in real life.
