50+ years of cooking and creating across cultures has taught Phuong that a meal is more than nourishment - it’s a way to connect and understand one another.
She grew up in a small village in central Vietnam, where food was at the heart of daily life. From her grandmother who lived off her own vegetables until the age of 90, to her mother who taught her the rituals of respect at the table, Phuong learned early that food is about culture, nutrition, joy, and connection - a medicine for life.
Her journey later took her far from home: to Hanoi, where she ran her own tailoring shop; to Bhutan, where she taught young designers how to turn traditional textiles into modern clothing; and to the Philippines, where she earned a degree in fashion design. Since 2010, she has made Copenhagen her home, continuing her craft while building a new life in Denmark.
About Dinner
Phuong loves to host. Over dinner, she invites you to experience the flavours and traditions she grew up with. Together you will prepare authentic Vietnamese spring rolls, while she shares stories of her life across cultures, and experience how food becomes a way to express care, identity, and belonging.
