Dzung was first introduced to serious cooking by her Vietnamese grandmother at 8 years old. Her grandmother, who immigrated from Vietnam in the late 1980's, was renowned in her circles for her unmatched culinary skill. With her guidance, Dzung learned to prepare many Vietnamese and French inspired dishes like Duck L'Orange, Ga (Chicken) Roti, Farcies, and Braised Beef Tongue. In addition to cooking together they studied the methods of TV chefs Yan Can Cook and Jacque Pepin every Saturday morning.
By age 11, Dzung was independently preparing complex dishes like Beef Roulade and Boeuf Bourguignon. While enjoying these increasingly difficult challenges, she discovered that her greatest joy was in delighting her friends and family. Her high school years were spent continuously researching recipes and inspiration at the library and online. Her world was opened to a wide array of fascinating ethnic cuisines, especially Korean, Greek, and Chinese. Her family would often provide feedback on her culinary experiments, their expectations growing with Dzung's skill.
Dzung studied Business and Finance at Santa Clara University where she began to consider a recipe for career success, somehow combining her passion with a way to support herself. Here she began to cater events locally, first for friends and family, and then for private clients and commercial events. Honeysuckle Catering was born.
Over the past 3 years, Dzung has added YouTube chef, Sur La Table teaching assistant (working alongside an esteemed French Laundry Chef), and Anthropologie Event Caterer to her culinary resume.
Dzung's passion is to share with you the joy of cooking great meals for family and friends. Dzung's greatest joy is sharing delicious food with others, the most important lesson learned from her grandmother.
