Welcome to SoEpicurious

Folk Remedies, Garden Lore & Grown Wisdom from California’s Soil to Your Soul

Hey there—I’m So, your folk-gnome-in-the-city, slow-living herbalist, and kitchen tinker. I believe in the quiet magic of everyday rituals—steeping herbs, tending compost, scribbling plant notes in a worn garden journal. This space is my woven basket of handmade living, where plants meet people and practicality meets poetry.

Rooted in herbal traditions and shaped by my Cambodian-Thai-Chinese heritage, SoEpicurious is where I share how to live more naturally in the modern world—one recipe, remedy, and muddy garden boot at a time.

Why I’m Here

I was born in a refugee camp and raised in the concrete wilds of Long Beach. My family taught me how to stretch a meal, season with instinct, and listen to what plants are saying. SoEpicurious is where those lessons come home—blending ancestral wisdom, California wildcrafting, and a love of handmade living.

Whether you’re sipping nettle tea for strength, learning how to pickle mustard greens, or simply slowing down with the seasons—I hope you’ll feel at home here.
