As a child, we had nothing, and the value of every meal was so important to us. This has shaped my love of and perspective on food. Born in a small village in the south of Vietnam, Thuy was surrounded by food. She grew up amidst livestock and fresh produce, with a wonderful variety of fruits, morning markets with freshly picked vegetables, and the smells of traditional street food. It's these memories that are the foundation of her food philosophy and culinary creations. Her landmark London restaurant, The Little Viet Kitchen, brings this true taste of Vietnamese cuisine to Islington. Here, Thuy, along with her husband Dave, has created a dining experience that combines the best of restaurateur precision and flair with the comforts of the home kitchen. Embracing all elements of Vietnamese cuisine, Thuy's food enhances and showcases the natural textures and flavors.
