All About Me

My My name is Bao, the face behind No Limit Cooking. I’m a Vietnamese American Home Cook and Foodie from San Jose, CA. I’ve been sharing recipes, food stories, and cooking tips on this blog since May 2010 and IG account since July 2020.

I started No Limit Cooking back in 2010 to track my parents’ Vietnamese homestyle recipes (because you know the majority of Vietnamese parents don’t have measurements for anything), to stay in touch with my Vietnamese culture in every way I can, and hope to pass these family recipes down to my kids.

To me, No Limit Cooking is more than just Vietnamese food. I was born and raised in California so I’m surrounded by so much yummy food everywhere and exposed to so amazing Asian and Latin ingredients and flavors. On No Limit Cooking, you will also see lots of other Asian, American, and Mexican food recipes. I’m also a huge BBQ enthusiast so you will catch me incorporating all the flavors I love into my BBQ as well.

I am constantly learning in the kitchen, always finding ways to improve recipes, and experimenting with the ingredients available to me. You may notice that the recipes I post will not always look the same, but it’s all part of the cooking journey. Work with what you got!
