French toast
I used to make french toast by mixing a beaten egg, milk, sugar, powdered cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Thought I’d try using sweetened condensed milk and sprinkling powdered cinnamon after the toast is done. Difference? In taste, not much. In texture, this new recipe resulted in less soggy french toast. We had them [...]

Baked tortang talong
Last Saturday, my husband bought a huge bag of talong (eggplants) and, with the ground pork in the freezer, I immediately thought of making some tortang talong (eggplant fritatta). But I was recovering from the flu and the thought of frying the torta one by one made my dizzy. I baked them instead. Turned out [...]

Buko-melon and buko-pandan yema balls
My 11-year-old (younger) daughter had been asking that we make some yema balls again. She so enjoyed making them about a month ago that she had been going on and on and on… I wasn’t planning on saying yes today. Still feel a bit down after the flu. Besides, older daughter is still down with [...]

My husband said they were too fatty. When I started cooking the turkey tails last Wednesday (just before I [...]

Thrice cooked pata tim
I used to cook pata tim by marinating, frying then braising the pork pata (leg). Somehow, the meat never reaches the stage of tenderness that Chinese restaurants are famous for. The skin of the pata sticks to the cooking pan during braising before the meat reaches the desired tenderness. So I thought I’d revise the [...]

Where-is-the-rice fried rice
We were watching Heny Sison’s cooking show yesterday and one of the featured recipes was Yang Chow fried rice. I suddenly remembered how long it had been since we last had Chinese-style fried rice in the house. Well, I didn’t have enough ingredients for making Yang Chow but I had more than enough to cook [...]

45-minute farmer’s pie
What is farmer’s pie? Sometimes called shepherd’s pie, it is a dish made with meat or poultry stew covered with mashed potatoes then baked until the top of the layer of mashed potatoes is lightly browned. It is always interesting to mix different meats and try them with different sauces. Farmer’s pie is also a [...]
