Hồ-Kane is currently at work on her book, “Asian Women: Trailblazers and Luminaries” and is busy archiving and researching for that. The manuscript is due in March and Penguin plans to publish it in 2023. The book will cover the Asian diaspora, including Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and South Asian countries like India. West Asia could be a second edition, Hồ-Kane said.
“This bakery is an extension of my archives. I’m working within my cultural roots. Vietnamese food hasn’t really had its shine especially desserts on the East Coast, specifically in New York City. I felt this was a way to expose people to Asian culture, specifically mine. It was an offshoot of that but it’s taken over with the wait list for the cookie tins,” she said.
