In this special collection of time-honored recipes, Julie Mai Trn, a first-generation Vietnamese-Chinese American and the creator of Share My Roots, celebrates Vietnamese cuisine and culture inspired by her mother's cooking. Julie brings the authentic flavors of Northern, Central and Southern Vietnam's most beloved dishes to your home kitchen.
