Nomemade Cookbook

 Hello All!  This is Lynn, Kim's sister.  Kim has graciously decided to allow me to post on her blog with her.  We are so excited to announce that we are doing a cookbook together!  

Kim and I have been talking about this idea together for years but it never seemed like it was really something we could actually do or we had no idea how to go about doing it.  Then one day the stars aligned and we were blessed to have an amazingly talented person come into our lives.  Just a few short months ago a woman named Ali Eisenach moved into my neighborhood and we became fast friends.  It turns out that Ali writes, publishes, and sells her own cookbooks and is successful at it.  One day Ali approached me about helping her with the graphic design of her next cookbook (Graphic Design is one of my hobby's- I made the cover of our Nomemade book).  I was more than thrilled to swap "favors" with her.  I told her I'd help her with her book if she'd be willing to take the pictures for the Nomemade book and show me the ropes of self publishing.  Luckily for us, she agreed!  You can learn more about Ali and her cookbooks HERE.

The cookbook will be in full color all throughout with amazing pictures of the food and simple recipes to follow.  Most of the recipes focus on the foods that come from Nome, Alaska: Alaskan King Crab, Salmon, Moose, Muskox, Fireweed, Tundra Berries, etc.  However, we also included some of our family favorites from growing up and since our mother is from Vietnam, you can guess that a lot of those foods will be Asian inspired.  

Again, I can't tell you how excited I am about this project!  It really is a dream come true for us.  The book will be ready for purchase sometime in September.  We just have a few more recipes to do for the book and then we're sending it off to the printers.  Can't wait!  Thank you for supporting us and if you haven't done so yet, please "Like" our Facebook Page.

Delicious Vietnam

So my sister, Lynn, convinced me to enter into a food blogging event from Delicious Vietnam to promote and explore the diversity of Vietnamese cuisine.  The two founders a food lovers journey and ravenous couple have some great Vietnamese recipes.

Growing up in Nome, Alaska my mother has adapted a lot of Vietnamese cuisines with local caught food.  Such as Moose pho instead of beef, bun rieu (tomato and crab noodle soup) with Alaskan king crab instead of dungeness, and various vietnamese fish dishes with local salmon instead of maybe the traditional catfish.  Last year I entered a contest and won $100 for third place and our local Fisherman's Fair hosted by Norton Sound Economic Development Company, one of the rules was to make a dish using cod provided by the seafood plant in Nome (nortonsoundseafoodproducts.com).  Using my Vietnamese/Alaskan background I ended up making Alaskan Cod Rolls which I posted to my recipes tab.

Alaskan Cod Rolls

Welcome

Welcome to the Nomemade.   Our family is from Nome, Alaska and this blog is about Nome and the things I've made or found here.  I was born and raised here so occasionally I will post scenic locations or wildlife.  I am also part Vietnamese and love to cook.  Please see the links above to find recipes and other photographs.
