Mời cả nhà ăn cơm!

I think recently,… because I lost my grandma last year. I think my most memorable experience with food is her making thịt kho because it is something that everyone in my family loves. And that was the last dish she made before she passed. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to eat it because I’m so far away. This dish is a very memorable one because of her.

I was really bad at cooking growing up. I was always trying. My mother taught me a lot when I was younger. And as I got older, me and my father had more time together, and he was the one who taught me a lot of techniques. Though, the basis of knowing how to balance food comes from both my parents. With my grandfather, who I’m very close to, we would hang out a lot and he taught me how to do certain things too. And depending on the dish, I would learn it from different elders.
