Not quite complete

You are viewing the “new” Pinoy Cook, now running on Wordpress. It’s the only option since I cannot have multiple installations of my Expression Engine. It’s also a way of finally separating the databases for my blogs.
I’m still in the process of moving the files. More than a third of the recipes are already here. [...]

Chicken chop suey

Yesterday’s lunch was made with the meat from one chicken breast, fresh carrot and string beans, and canned straw mushrooms and baby corn.

To retain the correct texture for each ingredient, it is best to cook them one at a time. The chicken goes first, then the fresh vegetables and, finally, the canned vegetables.

Paksiw na lechon manok

Last night’s dinner. Forty five minutes to cook, including preparation time.

It isn’t even real lechon manok. It’s chicken browned in its own fat then allowed to cook in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, pepper and sugar.

Roast pork with mushroom sauce

My kids absolutely loved this one.

It looks pretty enough for a dressy dinner but don’t be fooled by its appearance. It’s so easy to make. No special cooking skills necessary to make this wonderful roast pork with mushroom sauce. If you can slice and stir, you can do this one.
Ingredients :
cooked and cooled roasted pork [...]

Roast pork with salsa verde

I had this 800-gram uncut butterfly pork chops. With only the kids and myself in the house last Saturday, I figured it was too much meat. If I made just one dish out of it, the kids would find it “redundant” by dinner time. So, I roasted it, cooled it, sliced it then divided the [...]

Chocolate polvoron

It’s my daughters’ Christmas party in school today. Potluck style. My 13-year-old was smart. She volunteered to being the juice. All we need to do was buy about half a dozen boxes of juice in pouches. But my 11-year-old had been regaling her classmates with stories of home made polvoron for months. She didn’t mind [...]

Shopewise’s pandan-macapuno cake

Shopewise’s pandan-macapuno cake looks gorgeous. That’s the reason I chose it for our wedding anniversary dessert after a wonderful early dinner at the Vieux Chalet Swiss Inn. Everyone in my family loves pandan and the combination of pandan with macapuno was just too much to resist. I should have resisted though. Shopewise’s pandan-macapuno cake should [...]

Vieux Chalet Swiss Inn

December 12, 2006 was our 14th wedding anniversary. Instead of having the school service bring home the kids, my husband and I picked them up from school for an early dinner at Vieux Chalet Swiss Inn. We’re no strangers to Vieux Chalet, especially me. I had been going there since I was a law student. [...]
