Hi and Sabaidee!
Welcome to Jenuine Cuisine! I’m Jen Jen. I LOVE to cook and share my food pictures on social media. So it occurred to me, that maybe I should just start a food blog since people were always asking me for the recipe. I’ve been so inspired by other bloggers and I’ve finally gathered the courage to conquer my New Year’s resolution and start my own food blog!
Growing up, my family taught me how to cook but they never had any recipes written down. It was always add this,add that, taste and season some more! It’s time we have official recipes written down and organized so they can be shared with everyone! If you’ve never heard of Lao food, welcome and I hope you enjoy making flavorful, spicy and mouth watering food. If you’re already a big fan of Lao food, you’ve come to the right place to find all the best recipes!
More About Me…
My name is Chinese but I am 100% Laotian. My parents named me after a famous Chinese actress because everyone said I looked Chinese. I was born in Laos. Where is Laos you ask? Actually it’s the #1 question I get asked. Laos is in South East Asia in between, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. As refugees, my family fled to Australia when I was two. I grew up loving vegemite, meat pies, crumpets and all things Aussie! But now I live in Sunny San Diego, the place I call home because to me, it’s paradise. You can’t beat the weather, diversity and the accessibility to all different types of food!
I am a Certified Medical Dosimetrist. What is a Medical Dosimetrist you ask? The #2 question I get asked a lot. In short, a Medical Dosimetrist designs the radiation treatment for cancer patients.
I’m a mom to two awesome teenagers. I hope that my blog will be of great to use to them when they leave for college in a few years. I always wished our family had recipes written down when I was growing up, and now I get to write and organize them for my children.
I am a wife to an amazing man who is my number one supporter. He inspires me to live my best life and I am so fortunate to have him as my husband.
Well enough about me, I hope my blog inspires you to start cooking and if you’re already a great cook, why not try something new. Please let me know if you try one of my recipes. Join me on this culinary adventure and let’s get cooking!
