Picasso once said: “I paint the way some people write their autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary…” Now, replace paint with “cook” in the first sentence and replace paintings with “dishes” in the second and you’ll understand why. My blog is pretty much a chronicle of my life. [...]

Seafood “Risotto” Surprise!

The truth is, haven’t we all done something crazy just for a good meal? Sometimes, I have these ideas about food go beyond that, so much so that they are admittedly pushing the verge of deranged and demented. Lately, I’ve been obsessing about soil. I seriously need to get four potatoes and two kilos of [...]

It’s embarrassing how, being a founding member of Kulinarya Cooking Club, I’ve neglected our monthly challenges. The one thing about taking an extended leave from blogging is losing the discipline to do every other thing that comes with blogging. Testing recipes, trying to make a dish you KNOW that tastes delicious, actually LOOK delicious, taking [...]

Where do I even begin? We last left of when Bizou died. I never told what exactly happened. I guess five months ago it was difficult for me to put in in writing. Even today, I get teary just thinking about it, but hopefully this will explain my absence for so long. The morning that [...]
Momofuku’s Chicken and Egg on the Thermomix

I’ll be the first to admit, I am a gadget junkie. This weekend I stepped inside the mall and stepped out with an electric groom tool and a soft serve ice cream maker. It really didn’t matter that even the salesman tried to dissuade me to get the groom tool or that I had previously bought [...]

I remember the exchange of emails just like it was yesterday. A couple of Filipina friends exploring the possibility of starting a cooking club that would promote Filipino food. We talked about designing a banner and spent a few days coming up with an “introduction” to our club. We talked about having monthly themes which [...]
Pumpkin Lasagna…and turning vegetarian

I had a friend who was visiting for a few days and I found out that she had stopped eating meat since the last time I saw her. On a whim, I told her that I too would give up meat. If you read my blog, you’ll notice that I’ve always loved cooking/eating meat [...]
Coming Clean… Chicken in Garlic Sauce

Many many years ago a large Philippine newspaper asked my Mom if she wanted to be featured in their food column. Despite my lack of food knowledge I volunteered to take her place and be interviewed. So I made my signature dish of chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. The lady who interviewed me must [...]
The Fabulous Chicken Pie (inspired by Maggie Beer)

My home is located at the bottom of a very hilly area. Each morning, I get up and take my dogs for a walk up and down a series steep inclines to reach the peak. The task is arduous and always leaves me out of breath. But it’s worth it since I know that once [...]
