Lan Pham
Angry Asian Creations
www.angryasiancreations.com
Angry Asian Creations was started during the cold winter months in 2008. The beginnings were humble: simple paper and yarn crafts documented with a small point & shoot camera, the space eventually evolved to include food goodness, the best intentions plated and home comforts captured in bowls. Lan Pham is the writer behind this space that is filled with dreams and recipes for soups, ice cream, cake, -- pretty much everything in between and she's still deciding which she is more hungry for. She immigrated to the United States with her paternal grandparents from Vietnam, they were one of the "boat" people who escaped. She spent her early years in Maryland before her father became a foreign services officer and lived abroad: The Philippines, Ethiopia and Thailand. After college in Virginia, she found herself wandering the west coast for a year before finally finding home again in Baltimore. Lan loves all cuisines, but has embraced local, sustainable and organic fare, and with this lifestyle tries to infuse it in her everyday home cooking which mainly comprises of Asian food.
