Trang Lê

Xin Chào! I am Trang and I love food…but more importantly, sharing my passion for food & cooking with the world.

I was born and raised in Sài Gòn, a busy but beautiful city in southern Vietnam. Growing up, I was surrounded by a lot of good cooks, such as my mom and relatives, so I never really had the desire to learn how to cook. My family & I then moved to the states when I was in elementary school. It wasn’t until then that I realized how much I missed true Vietnamese food.

My love for culinary and Vietnamese cuisine in particular didn’t flourish until I was unable to do my yearly revisit back home. I missed the delicious street food and the authentic taste of Vietnamese food that are quite difficult to find in the states. So I started to learn how to cook…and it wasn’t a great experience. I still remember failing to cook a simple thing like white rice. It turned into a mushy porridge, not once, but three times until it was passable. Luckily, my family were very supportive and were my guinea pigs throughout my journey of honing my skills. As time passed, I was able to learn and apply different techniques and knowledge that I learned from Google, family, and friends. I started creating my recipes and shared it on my personal page with a small group of people. Fast forward a couple of years, I met my fiancé, a food photographer. Since we’ve met, he expanded my palette to different cuisines outside of what I was comfortable with.

I truly enjoy cooking, it is a form of stress reliever for me. However, I never thought that one day, I would be making videos and writing recipes to share with everyone around the world.

If you’re a visual learner like me, my easy-to-follow video recipes are on my Tiktok and Instagram. I also shared my cooking tips and tricks there as well, so make sure to give it a follow!

If you made it this far, thank you and I hope you will always wonder what’s Trang cooking?
