Andrea Nguyen Flees Saigon in April 1975 and Brings Vietnamese Home Cooking to America

Chef Andrea Nguyen, author of "Vietnamese Food Any Day,"
discusses her early life in Vietnam, Hostess fruit pies and why
chicken stock is better with an apple. Plus, we chat with
filmmaker Andrew Rodgers about Kinder Surprise, a chocolate egg
that’s beloved worldwide but illegal in the United States; we
make a simple dump-and-bake Lemon-Almond Pound Cake; and our
Paris correspondent, Alex Aïnouz, explains why a good croissant
is straight, not crescent-shaped. (Originally aired April 19,
2019.)
