“Ăn chung” is Vietnamese for “eat together”. Have you ever cooked for someone you love? Attended a potluck and tried your friends dishes that they made themselves? That’s what ăn chung is all about. It’s about love expressed through communal eating, the act of sharing a meal and a story. More importantly, it’s the intimate gesture of making sure your loved ones are fed. This is a cookbook of Vietnamese recipes paired with the times I’ve shared them with my loved ones. Ăn chung is love, family, and tenderness.
