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 [...]

I think that at some point in time, most of us have openly defied our parents. When I was growing up I had friends who would skip school, or go out with boys their parents banned them from seeing. Some of them take up drinking and go out past their curfews. Me? My form of [...]

Is it any surprise that my most favourite presents to give (and receive) during Christmas are cookbooks? I consider myself a pretty good judge cookbook character. For example, my brother who is a bachelor loves the four ingredients or less series and his idea of cooking is to buy a chicken, buy a packet of [...]

Is it persistence or stubbornness? Maybe both? When I have an idea in my head, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it (all within legal means of course!) and I never back down from a dare. Ever. Every now and again these two traits can get me into trouble. Like the time I confidently [...]

Noche Buena is a traditional celebration in the Philippines. Literally meaning “Good Night”, this usually entails families gathering on the eve of Christmas for a late family meal. Growing up, I had two Noche Buenas. The first one was celebrated with my Dad’s family and the second and later one, with my Mom’s. For Noche [...]
Fideos (“Toasted Pasta” Paella)

Fideos (“Toasted Pasta” Paella) It must be difficult being a noodle in Spain. How can you stand up to the wonderful rice dishes that the Spaniards are known for. Almost every Spanish cookbook I own will have a section on Paellas*, and at the back of the section is maybe one (if lucky) recipe on [...]
