About Me:

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

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

Today, I’m sharing my unique twist on modern Vietnamese and American cooking through socials.
