(Version française plus bas!) When I was a kid, my mom used to make Banh Pate So, the Vietnamese puff pastries, in huge batches. The smell of warm butter dough would fill our apartment, and I just couldn’t wait for them to be cooked. This Christmas, I really wanted to recreate my mom’s recipe, changingContinue reading “Christmas menu: Banh Pate So \\\ Menu de Noël: Banh Pate So”

I was so excited to try it out!Continue reading “Vietnamese Recipe: Vegan “fish” sauce”
