Cooking with Nana

Cooking with Nana I am a home cook sharing my mostly-Lao dishes. Please visit my YouTube channel at the website link. I am not a nutritionist or professional chef.

Please visit my YouTube channel at https://YouTube.com/CookingWithNana to watch my videos. I just love to share some dishes made by me or my friends. I would love to hear how you prepare some of your favorite dishes. I am always open to trying new ways of cooking. I will not get involved in debates over nutritional value of the recipes I have shared, especially ones with MSG.

====================

===================
Thanks to everyone who have provided feedback. If you have tried any of the recipes in my videos, I would appreciate if you let me know by tagging Cooking with Nana or posting on this page. This will help inspire me to make more videos. My YouTube channel is https://YouTube.com/CookingWithNana. I may not be able to respond to all the comments, but I do appreciate each and every one of them.

Unfortunately, I can't attend because we also have Vatthanatham Lao Foundation's Merced Lao Arts & Culture Summer Camp happening the same week.
