To know a culture is through food and festivities that include the people,
colors, textures, and environment. Vietnamese meals are known for its
vibrant colors and the comfort it gives. MOI cookbook captures intimate
moments shared between myself and my family members. I documented the
careful steps from prepping to displaying the food on the table, to reminisce
memories from Vietnam in a single frame. The journey depicts the labor of love and the
memories made within the process of creating this cookbook.
This cookbook is also meant for future generations to connect and cook the
meals our parents grew up eating and re-share the passed-down memories.
Thus, it reminds them of their tradition and culture and the love that food
brings to us.
