Home Dinners with Families
"Sit at the table of a Vietnamese home."
We've built relationships with a small handful of Vietnamese families across the country who open their homes — not as a performance, but as a real evening. You arrive in late afternoon, cook together in their kitchen, eat at their table, and stay as long as the conversation runs.
A grandmother in a Hanoi courtyard handing you a bowl of canh chua she's made every week for fifty years — and refusing to let you leave until you've had two helpings.
