Nguyen showcases the quality of Deluxe Gold® Pineapple through two new original recipes.
WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Del Monte ® Deluxe Gold® Pineapple announces its partnership with chef and new host of Tasty's "Making it Big", Tway TwayDaBae Nguyen. Nguyen is inspiring home chefs to cook with pineapples by making two new modern dishes with a Vietnamese twist. During this holiday season, Nguyen encourages her audience to step outside their comfort zone in the kitchen by creating dishes using ingredients like Del Monte® Deluxe Gold® Pineapple, the highest quality variety of pineapple for when you want the convenience and taste of fresh pineapple.
Tway is a rising culinary star, having sold out popups at restaurants in LA and New York. Known as TikTok's "big sister" she shares recipes that pay homage to her Vietnamese roots. Nguyen wants to motivate home cooks to get creative in the kitchen by elevating traditional recipes with ingredients like Deluxe Gold® Pineapple. Nguyen highlights the versatility of Deluxe Gold® Pineapple through two original recipes: Pineapple Ginger Chicken Braise and Pineapple Pudding. Nguyen shares her twist on a classic Vietnamese recipe Ginger Chicken Braise using Deluxe Gold® Pineapple Chunks that is extra sweet with delicious pineapple flavor, adding a layer of acidity to a typically savory dish. She puts her personal touch on a classic dessert by incorporating Deluxe Gold® Pineapple Slices into her Pineapple Pudding recipe to make the holidays even brighter with a not-so-generic sweetness than any store pineapple can provide.
"When I am cooking, I get to channel my creativity into all my favorite foods, and my culture plays a huge role in everything that I make," shares Tway Nguyen. "I love experimenting with a variety of ingredients – pineapples being one of them. What I enjoy most about Deluxe Gold Pineapple is that it is high-quality, extra sweet and bursting with delicious flavor."
