Hi, I’m Joanna B. Nguyen, the cook, creator, and storyteller behind Happy Tummies Recipes!
Food has always been at the center of my life — from family gatherings filled with traditional dishes, to experimenting with new flavors in my own kitchen. Cooking isn’t just about feeding the body; it’s about creating joy, connection, and comfort. That’s where the name Happy Tummies comes from — because nothing makes me happier than seeing a meal bring people together.
My Food Philosophy
I believe recipes should be:
- Simple and approachable – anyone can cook with the right guidance.
- Wholesome and delicious – real ingredients that nourish the body.
- Fun and creative – cooking is an adventure, not a chore.
Here you’ll find a mix of family favorites, weeknight dinners, sweet treats, and dishes inspired by my cultural roots and travels. Every recipe is tested and written with care, so you can feel confident recreating them at home.
Why I Started Happy Tummies Recipes
I wanted a space to share more than just food — I wanted to share stories, traditions, and the little sparks of joy that come from cooking and eating together. Whether you’re a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned home cook, my hope is that you’ll find recipes here that inspire you to try something new, gather with loved ones, and of course… keep those tummies happy.
