About this Event
Celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month by joining us for the MAY 2026 meeting of the BOLD FORK COOKBOOK CLUB!
Here’s how it works: everyone will prepare a dish from VIETNAMESE FOOD ANY DAY by Andrea Nguyen. Ahead of the event, you’ll receive access to a spreadsheet where you and other attendees list chosen dishes.
Then we’ll gather in the shop and share a feast! We’ll talk through the process of procuring ingredients, challenges and unexpected pleasures of the cooking process and other things related to the book.
If you purchase a copy of the book from us with your ticket, you can pick it up in our store or have it shipped for an additional cost.
PLEASE NOTE: because of the high demand of this event, we will NOT be able to process refunds and NOT be able to transfer these tickets to a future month. We will email you when copies of the book are available for pick up and shipping!
ABOUT THE COOKBOOK
IACP AWARD FINALIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR
Drawing on decades of experience, as well as the cooking hacks her mom adopted after fleeing from Vietnam to America, award-winning author Andrea Nguyen shows you how to use easy-to-find ingredients to create true Vietnamese flavors at home—fast. With Nguyen as your guide, there’s no need to take a trip to a specialty grocer for favorites such as banh mi, rice paper rolls, and pho, as well as recipes for Honey-Glazed Pork Riblets, Chile Garlic Chicken Wings, Vibrant Turmeric Coconut Rice, and No-Churn Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream. Nguyen’s tips and tricks for creating Viet food from ingredients at national supermarkets are indispensable, liberating home cooks and making everyday cooking easier.
