Hi, it’s lovely to see you here!

My name is Rosie Nguyen, and I’m thrilled to share my love for food with you. I’m a food obsessed super-taster, always ready to eat, and cooking at home is one of my greatest joys.

Vietnamese cuisine holds a special place in my heart

Born and raised in Vietnam, I was surrounded by a rich culinary tradition. From a young age, I was spoiled with delicious traditional Vietnamese meals. If you ask me what I miss the most since living abroad, it’s hands down the Vietnamese food.

Bcause of this, I cook and enjoy Vietnamese food almost every day. I spend my free time exploring and perfecting Vietnamese dishes, adding some modern twists while keeping them 80–90% authentic. It’s a way for me to stay close to my roots and share a piece of my culture with you.

“I focus on creating dishes that are both simple and delicious.”

The “Cooking Island” channel was launched in late 2021 during the COVID pandemic, a time when I began cooking more at home. Why not enjoy Vietnamese cuisine from the comfort of your own home.

Furthermore, watching tutorial videos makes cooking more intuitive. You can visualize each step of the process, and understand crucial details such as temperature, cooking time, and valuable tips and tricks to achieve the best results.

“It’s all about using all your senses—sight, taste, and smell—to guide you through each step.”

Every oven and kitchen are a little bit different. While you should follow the times and instructions in my recipes, it’s all about using all your senses—sight, taste, and smell—to guide you through each step.
