I was born in the Philippines but raised in San Diego, where I currently live. I didn't find my passion for cooking until later in life, around the time I graduated from college. I think I have a good eye at looking at a recipe's ingredients and knowing whether it will taste good or not. If I can't find a particular recipe, I usually piece one together from similar ones.
My mom and dad are both good cooks and I try to squeeze all their Filipino recipes out of them, which of course all have no measurements. I love to cook for my friends and family. It makes me happy when I see them bite into something that I’ve made that puts a smile on their face.
The recipes I have collected on this blog are from all over (books, internet, family, friends). I’ve collected them through the years and are my favorites. I hope one day my girls will come here and find all the dishes they loved growing up. I also hope you find something here too that you love.
