My name is Jen Dao & I'm a foodie based in Seattle, WA!

Originally born & raised in small town in Minnesota, I grew up with a lot of traditional Vietnamese food because of my family's home cooking.

At 19, I decided to spread my wings & move to Seattle. This began my journey with cooking and exploring my heritage through food.

Fast forward to present day, and currently I'm sharing daily recipes & food adventures with my 200k+ following of fellow foodies!
