Sinigang ng ulo ng maya-maya (fish head in sour soup)
I know, I’ve got so many versions of sinigang (sour soup) on this blog that, perhaps, I shouldn’t bother posting this one. But I will, anyway, for two reasons:
1) The kangkong (water spinach or swamp spinach in the right photo below) that I used here is not the ordinary kind that grows most anywhere [...]

Baked tuna belly
That’s not a whole tuna belly in the photo but about half of one. We bought a 1.8 kilogram tuna belly last Sunday and I cut it horizontally into two portions. We grilled the first half the usual way on Sunday evening and had it for dinner with sinigang ng ulo ng maya-maya, the recipe [...]

There first time I served this salad at a dinner party, my friends were a little hesitant about trying it because they thought that the red stuff were hot chili peppers. They aren’t. They’re chopped pimientoes, I told them. After trying it, one of them asked if I could make some for her husband’s birthday [...]

Duckling and potato salad
As has been my family’s practice since moving to the suburb, we had roast duckling for our New Year’s Eve dinner. We had a 2-kilo bird which I served the usual way (last year’s recipe here). By the time dinner was over, the leftovers–mostly small pieces of meat–were not enough to make a stir-fry for [...]
