Andrea Nguyen Cooks B- Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) - The Families That Fed America - History James: Wow, just wow! What a wonderful story! I am a food lover, always have been. I carry my grandmother's recipes in my head. Food is history, it is memory, it is as you say who we are. It defines us, it gives us all something in common. It gives us a way to share who we are and our experiences. Food for me has been a journey, a way to share the soul of so many others. To share histories and cultures. For me food is love. A gift from my grandmother, who is gone, but lives so deeply in my heart. She lives through my own hands as I prepare her dishes, she is present in each and every bite. I wish so much that she were here to journey with me. Her love of food was certainly passed to me and cherished each time a new bite touches my tongue!

The title of this video doesn't do it justice. What an excellent story, straight from the source. My cousins and aunt made it out of Vietnam with my uncle. They were so young they don't remember a lot of stuff and my aunt passed many years ago. Thank you for this awesome insight and for taking us along your journey.

Yes it is messy cooking, but I was always told by my mentors, if you-re not making a mess while cooking then you-re not doing it right! I-ve come to believe that is very much true! I love all Eastern countries dishes, could eat it seven days a week! Awesome Ms. Andrea

Thank you for sharing your story, Andrea. I love history, and I love food, and I will make this dish as soon as I can and share your story with my family. I wonder if food could bring us together as humans in a way that politics has obviously been unsuccessful.

I came here looking for Bo Kho recipes. I wasn't expecting to hear such a lovely story. Andrea's retelling of her history is very eloquent. I'm sharing some of the same aspects with my family that she does with hers.

Go Andrea! It's so frustrating when ignorant foreigners and even Vietnamese people try to say our famous dishes are -a knockoff of XYZ's cuisine-. They really try to say pho and bun rieu are French in origin!

This was an amazing piece. As a Vietnamese American, this made me really emotional that my grandparents and parents endured this dark time, and sacrifice so many for me and my siblings. Thank you for uploading this.

Everyone has that love for food that they grew up with. I'm 62 male and love to cook. I still cook some of my family favorites. I also modified some to be my own. I really enjoy eastern food.

I'm spoiled by the digital age, I can't imagine it being hard to find a recipe for beef stew. Also, I can't imagine not just experimenting with beef stews until I made the one I liked.

What an amazing, intelligent woman. My heart is touched more deeply than before regarding the Vietnamese people. Those who I have gotten to know in the past are incredible, hardworking people.

Working fo the refugee program from 1986-92 was a decision i made for myself- so rewarding, fulfilling. this video made me remember all those years. i miss vietnamese food.

Such and incredible video. Andrea's story telling was mesmerizing. She is such a charismatic person and a great culinary teach, I wish she'd get her own show.

Love this. Bo kho is a great comforting dish I like eating especially during the winter. Food has so much history and a great way to learn about other cultures.

Sitting here in Saigon looking for a Bo Kho recipe to cook for my Vietnamese wife and tearing up over her story. I wish she would publish the recipe book: )

Speaking from a middle class point of view. Most Vietnamese refugees who came to Canada in 1979 weren't as well off. Her story is interesting though.
reply

Thank you Andrea for sharing your experience and the Bo Kho dish with the world. Your mother-s legacy lives on through you and her recipes.
reply

I'm sure you were happy when you got here and found out how many didn't. Then you had to live through Trump years. How the US has fallen!
reply

I always love Andrea's recipes. What a moving story. My young boys (4 ane 6) love trying Vietnamese dishes. Can't wait to try this.
