Trinity Nguyen’s standalone novels blend romance with Vietnamese American culture and a love of food. A Banh Mi for Two (2024), her debut, is a sapphic romance set in Vietnam where two young women connect over street food and shared heritage. Sweet Heat (2026) moves to Los Angeles, where two rival chefs clash and spark on a reality TV cooking show.
Both books feature Vietnamese American protagonists and use food as a lens for exploring identity, family, and connection.
