TruongChinh (TC) is an active home cook and food blogger living in Oakland, CA. In TC's kitchen is a compilation of his recipes, thoughts on food, and memories of parties, meals, and kitchen time with family and friends. Recipes are culled from:

DC Food Blog: Kept from 2004-2008, a blog started to keep track of recipes and restaurants and to share with friends. The site brought TC and Jonathan both minor local recognition (Washingtonian, DCist, etc.) and great new friends. The site has not been updated since 2008 after relocation to the Bay Area.

Bay Area Food Blog: The most current recipe blog open since 2008. While the site is undergoing a re-design, updates are regular.

It's a Lifestyle: The blog TC started with a fellow friend and blogger to chronicle challenges related to his diagnosis with diabetes and their mutual work to eat and be healthy together. TC has not only regulated his diabetes, but reversed much of the associated problems through diet and exercise.
