“Vietnamese refugee narratives serve as reminders of our community’s resilience and strength. It is important to retain these experiences to remind us of the cultural roots and history that make up our identities. By speaking to our families, we can learn about our past and pass these stories down from generation to generation. Although it may be hard to open up about these experiences, we can start by talking about it at the dinner table.
The Vietnamese family dinner is usually the heart of the family; where everyone comes together after a long day to share a meal. Everyone is expected to contribute to the dinner, from food prep, cooking, to setting up and clearing the table. For many families, this time is also about cultural retention – how do we pass along our family history and traditions through our meals at the dinner table? The Cơm Gia Đình project aims to connect our family recipes to the refugee and immigrant stories of our families.
During our 2018 Black April Commemoration, VAR collected a few family recipes along with the family’s refugee and immigration stories. This year, we would like to expand this project to compile these narratives into a published community recipe book, which will be published at the end of Summer 2023.
Although you are not required to submit your recipe and story to the project, you are highly encouraged to if you find it appropriate!For this project, which will take the place of your second paper, you will be interviewing someone in your family from a different generation (elder or younger), to collect 1) their migration and resettlement story and 2) a story about a recipe to a dish that holds sentimental significance to them (and you).

“Vietnamese refugee narratives serve as reminders of our community’s resilience and strength. It is important to retain these experiences to remind us of the cultural roots and history that make up our identities. By speaking to our families, we can learn about our past and pass these stories down from generation to generation. Although it may be hard to open up about these experiences, we can start by talking about it at the dinner table.
The Vietnamese family dinner is usually the heart of the family; where everyone comes together after a long day to share a meal. Everyone is expected to contribute to the dinner, from food prep, cooking, to setting up and clearing the table. For many families, this time is also about cultural retention – how do we pass along our family history and traditions through our meals at the dinner table? The Cơm Gia Đình project aims to connect our family recipes to the refugee and immigrant stories of our families.
During our 2018 Black April Commemoration, VAR collected a few family recipes along with the family’s refugee and immigration stories. This year, we would like to expand this project to compile these narratives into a published community recipe book, which will be published at the end of Summer 2023.
Although you are not required to submit your recipe and story to the project, you are highly encouraged to if you find it appropriate!For this project, which will take the place of your second paper, you will be interviewing someone in your family from a different generation (elder or younger), to collect 1) their migration and resettlement story and 2) a story about a recipe to a dish that holds sentimental significance to them (and you).
Your submission will be composed of several parts:
Your family refugee / immigrant story (250-500 words) that captures the story of your family, including but not limited to how they arrived in the US, how they (re)built and (re)established their lives, and where they are now.
The meaning and significance behind the dish that you chose/discussed, and how it relates to your family’s refugee/immigrant story (100-250 words)
A recipe for the dish that you collected and a list of ingredients
A picture of the dish, your family cooking/making it together, and/or other pictures or multimedia from your family’s history.
This project is an adaptation of the Vietnamese American Roundtable’s “Cơm Gia Đình” Community Recipe Collection project, which you can learn more about by following this link: https://www.varoundtable.org/com-gia-dinh.

The Cơm Gia Đình project aims to connect our family recipes to the refugee and immigrant stories of our families.
During our 2018 Black April Commemoration, VAR collected a few family recipes along with the family’s refugee and immigration stories. This year, we would like to expand this project to compile these narratives into a published community recipe book, which will be published at the end of Summer 2023.
Although you are not required to submit your recipe and story to the project, you are highly encouraged to if you find it appropriate!For this project, which will take the place of your second paper, you will be interviewing someone in your family from a different generation (elder or younger), to collect 1) their migration and resettlement story and 2) a story about a recipe to a dish that holds sentimental significance to them (and you).
Your submission will be composed of several parts:
Your family refugee / immigrant story (250-500 words) that captures the story of your family, including but not limited to how they arrived in the US, how they (re)built and (re)established their lives, and where they are now.
The meaning and significance behind the dish that you chose/discussed, and how it relates to your family’s refugee/immigrant story (100-250 words)
A recipe for the dish that you collected and a list of ingredients
A picture of the dish, your family cooking/making it together, and/or other pictures or multimedia from your family’s history.
This project is an adaptation of the Vietnamese American Roundtable’s “Cơm Gia Đình” Community Recipe Collection project, which you can learn more about by following this link: https://www.varoundtable.org/com-gia-dinh.
“Vietnamese refugee narratives serve as reminders of our community’s resilience and strength. It is important to retain these experiences to remind us of the cultural roots and history that make up our identities. By speaking to our families, we can learn about our past and pass these stories down from generation to generation. Although it may be hard to open up about these experiences, we can start by talking about it at the dinner table.
The Vietnamese family dinner is usually the heart of the family; where everyone comes together after a long day to share a meal. Everyone is expected to contribute to the dinner, from food prep, cooking, to setting up and clearing the table. For many families, this time is also about cultural retention – how do we pass along our family history and traditions through our meals at the dinner table?
