In celebration of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month this May, Brava has listed out dozens of incredible recipes and Custom Cooks that our community and culinary team have created. A special shout-out to Brava members Pat Choi, Archana, Mundhe, Shweta, Lilian and Chef Tu David Phu for generating several Custom Cooks that appear on this list.
These dishes originate from China, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. Though the world has yet to fully reopen and travel may be limited, Brava lets us connect with global cultures one meal at a time. Take your taste buds on a trip throughout Asia by making some (or all!) of these savory items.
