Soleil Ho

Thank you so much for having me, Evan.

That was Joyce Tang, author of Bake Some, which she wrote with Soleil Ho.

I know you want a recipe for that black sesame snickerdoodle.

Find it on our website at kcrw.com slash good food.

What's up with that?

Well, [laughs] Bake Some is written by Joyce Tang and a cookbook collaborator named Soleil Ho, and I know both of them.

They're Bay Area folks.

I met Joyce back in 2023 when I was touring for my book, Evergreen Vietnamese, and she invited me up to her bakery named Bake Some in Oakland for a book signing, and she said, "I wanna make something from your book." And I said, "I've got this incredible Vietnamese mocha cake."

And so I was so pleased and proud that Joyce produced this book three years later.

Right.

So again, the book is called Bake Some after her bakery, and she co-authored it with Soleil Ho.

We're having both of them on the podcast.
