Eat Local Nola Presents:Book Signing and Cooking Demo with Chef Nini Nguyen

Join Eat Local NOLA for an evening celebrating AAPI Heritage Month at The Broadside on Tuesday May 27 as we welcome Chef Nini Nguyen for a special book signing and demo from her cookbook and Eat Local's Book of the Year, Đặc Biệt.

Born and raised in New Orleans East, Chef Nini brings her Vietnamese-American roots to life in Đặc Biệt, a vibrant love letter to home cooking, family traditions, and the unique fusion of Gulf Coast and Southeast Asian flavors. Guests will enjoy a cooking demonstration and have the opportunity to meet Chef Nini and get their copy of the book signed. We'll also feature a creative activity to make bookmarks with local pressed flowers — a beautiful way to commemorate the evening and take home a piece of local artistry.

This event is held in partnership with VEGGI Farmers Co-op, a community member-owned and operated farmer’s cooperative based in New Orleans East.

Free and open to the public.
Cookbooks available for purchase on-site.
Food samples inspired by the cookbook.

RSVP for a chance to win a signed copy! (Must be present at the event to receive.)
