Let Company of Khanh create exotic food adventures that your friends and family can share. We have a deep appreciation for the solidarity and affirmation of a substantial meal.
I love to embark on culinary journeys that embraces the cultural influences from the years I spent cooking outside of the recipe: Mexican, Italian, English, Cuban, African, Peruvian, Vietnamese and French to name a few. I serve straight forward, hearty food to be enjoyed in the company of exuberant eaters alike. There is always an abundance of spiced and savory treats lovingly made, not assembled, to nourish the body with inspiration and imagination.
