From Nite Yun’s Kuy Teav Phnom Penh to Rosa Martinez’s Oaxacan Cholito de Puerco and Fernay McPherson’s Rosemary Fried Chicken, this cookbook offers 200+ vivid photos and 120+ recipes — a glimpse into the world of La Cocina, and the world around all of us.
You can find Nyum Bai’s famous Cambodian Chicken Salad (Neorm Sach Moan) recipe is one of 120 recipes shared in the new La Cocina cookbook. 
Nite Yun is 2019’s Chef to Watch in 2019, raved Eater. Images were taken by award-winning food photographer Eric Wolfinger.
“For most La Cocina entrepreneurs, a few recipes handed down from mothers and grandmothers were their only capital when they came to the United States. It seems almost magical that they can use those recipes as a means of self-expression, making a living, supporting their families, and preserving their culture. Through food, they too can aspire to the American Dream,” writes Isabel Allende in the forward, an early supporter of La Cocina.
THANK YOU for supporting women-owned businesses + chefs!
