Pichi-pichi
Another traditional Filipino dessert, pichi-pichi is made with grated cassava or cassava flour, water and sugar. The mixture is steamed, cooled then cut into pieces that are rolled in niyog (grated coconut). This has been the easiest Filipino dessert I have cooked so far.
The traditional way of making pichi-pichi is to boil and grate the [...]

Pinaupong manok
My husband has heard of pinaupong manok (sitting chicken) several times but never had a chance to try it. He thought it was something complicated to prepare and, hence, only for special occasions. I thought that was really funny. I have been making pinaupong manok since high school. I told him it was the easiest [...]

Bangus sardines in tomato sauce
My second bangus sardines recipe. This time with tomato sauce, olive oil and lots of spices.
A pressure cooker will be necessary, definitely.
Buy the smallest bangus you can find–no more than six inches long from head to tail. Ask the vendor to gut the fish and remove the gills, but not to remove the scales.
I [...]

Buko pandan
Nothing, but nothing, smells or tastes like pandan leaves. I remember my father-in-law placing a leaf with the sinaing (steamed rice). They had the plant growing in the little garden in front of their house. The aroma would pervade the living room while the rice was cooking.
First, a little background on pandan. The pandan leaf [...]

Palitaw
We keep a supply of rice flour in the house for general use. Lately, to make siopao (steamed dumplings) and puto (native rice cakes). When we recently ran out of rice flour, I asked my husband to pass by the supermarket on his way home from work to buy a kilo of rice flour. Surprise, [...]

Creamed Beef and Pasta Soup
It’s always busy around this time of year. More so now because I’m trying to do everything that I put off doing for two Christmases when I was still busy with my legal career. Now that I have the luxury of time, I discovered that there are lots more that I want to do in [...]

Choosing carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are not alike and each kind has a distinct effect on health and weight loss. Fiber likewise plays an important role.
Harvard researchers found that among 74,000 women, those who ate more fiber-rich grains–such as oatmeal and whole-grain breakfast cereals–gained less weight over time than women who got the least fiber in their diets.
In [...]

Pork Aloha
In our house, Friday isn’t exactly the best day to feel imaginative and creative in the kitchen. Saturday is market and grocery day. So, most Fridays, the freezer and the kitchen shelves are in dire need of replenishment. We were going to my in-laws for dinner and all I wanted to cook was a semi-heavy [...]
