So Excited to Be Here - Greeting from a Vietnamese Living in New York

[afoodaday]

Hi everyone!

 

My name is Linh Kieu. I am a passionate cook, eater and founder of afoodaday.com. I have been cooking for 15 years - both Vietnamese food and foods from other parts of the world.

 

 

I believe that the formula for good cooking is: loving the act of cooking, understanding and appreciating the ingredients, and constant practicing the cooking techniques. I write about the beautiful world of foods around us on afoodaday.com. Most of the foods highlighted may not be as popular as onions and potatoes. However, they deserve plenty of attention, because they are delicious, nutritious and not difficult to find.

 

When I don't cook, write, or read cookbooks, I like to wander around farmers' markets looking for inspirations.

 

Hopeing to be a great contributor to the forum and also to learn a great deal from you guys!

Welcome to the eG Society, Linh! You'll find a lot of other passionate and curious cooks here, who enjoy sharing information and experiments. We hope you enjoy participating in the discussions here.

Are you in New York City, or somewhere else in New York State? This is a great time of year for farmers' markets, and from what I read you should have access to a lot of them.

Thank you! I am in New York City. I live very close to the Union Square Farmers' Market (by choice ), which is the biggest one in NYC. New York is an amazing place but I also love to travel to other cities/countries and look for the freshest foods available locally.
