People often ask me how I started as a food blogger. The short answer: I made a recipe website to practice Vietnamese homemade cooking because it stunk.
The long answer:
It all started when my geek boyfriend (now a husband) bought me a piece of the web as a gift. Being a great introvert with a strong social backwardness, my homonymous domain was my way out for boring daily life and unfiltered complaints. That soon became boring.
I went a few months, I got married and I moved out of my parents' house. He soon realized that he had no idea how to cook the Vietnamese traditional food he was used to as a child.
I realized that to learn to cook, I had to start. I raised my sleeves and started at the age of 25 years. Luckily for me, I have a mother-in-law, a former restaurant cook, who loves to teach. Even though she mainly taught me dishes that her newly married son loved so I would not starve him, I managed to pick up many tasty recipes. I wrote down notes on random pieces of paper to record all the new things I was learning, which soon piled up and scattered. My intact website came to the rescue as an efficient way to store my abundant and meticulous recipe notes.
My first food-related publication was a roll of sushi from the Lion King. I quickly forgot about the publication and the website until I received notifications of some likes and comments. That intrigued my interest in the website again. I started slowly publishing more recipes with a focus on Vietnamese home cooking.
With the encouragement of some strangers online, I went ahead. I improved my food photography game ... I claimed my husband's DSLR camera as mine and learned to take better pictures. My official Vietnamese home cooking blog was born in early 2014.
So welcome to my humble abode online. Take off your shoes Examine my recipes. If you have the opportunity, leave me a comment and connect with me on social networks.
Cheers!
