The holidays are upon us! Although, this year will definitely be unique from our past celebrations. It will be still be a time of thanksgiving, joy and well…celebration. I think after everything that has happened this year we all need a bit of festivity and lightheartedness. And I’m starting with cake. After all, “a party […]

Horchata Overnight Oats with Guimaras Mangoes
Currently writing amidst a storm. We had to close all our windows as the shutters were starting to shudder and some of the things were beginning to fly. With yesterday’s Halloween and today’s howling winds, the spooky factor is definitely still on. It’s comforting to be inside all bundled up with blankets and family and […]
Salted Dark Chocolate Date Boats with Spiced Tahini Caramel
Gosh this has been one hell of a week and I’m exhausted! Currently running on a ridiculous amount of black tea and sheer will power so I’m going to keep today’s post short and sweet. I’m just happy that it’s a good tired. The type of tired that comes from finishing several orders (thank you […]
Harvest Apple Salad with Cinnamon Walnut Clusters and Shaved Pecorino
Sweater weather has finally arrived. There hasn’t been a day without some rain even if it’s just a light shower (much to my brother’s dismay). He’s in charge of hanging the laundry on our tiny clothesline outdoors so every time rain arrives my dad gives a loud call announcing that “it’s raining!” which causes my […]
Master Pizza Dough + Garlicky Pesto Pizza
I’m so excited that I can finally post this! So many of us love pizza but we rarely attempt to make it at home (even when it’s so good and it means ultimate reign over pizza toppings). It’s the dough they say. That seemingly hard-to-reach artisanal chewy crisp crust that is the foundation of all […]
Miso Hummus with Shichimi Togarashi Spiced Pita
Welcome back to the start of the week! I know many people dread Mondays but it’s more of a fresh start or a new slate of sorts, a second chance to create an amazing week. I’m already looking forward to of course some new eats, catching up with friends or maybe binging on a new […]
Banana Brioche Babka with Chocolate Hazelnut
Hi there! I’ve been in a pensive mood lately and not sure exactly why. I just came from watching the Minimalism documentary on Netflix and it really opens your eyes to the way values have changed over the years. It’s even more alarming when you realize that you see and experience these changes all around […]
Autumn Carrot Soup with Ginger and Coconut
I would like to say that the nights are getting longer and the days cooler but I live in a tropical country so this doesn’t quite happen. In the Philippines, we only have two seasons: wet and dry (+ humid all year-long) so really we have no autumn. But on those special days, when some […]
Lemony Pastel Pink Pasta with Garlic Confit
The weather has been quite gloomy lately in this side of the hemisphere and I find myself already longing for summer. Perhaps it was because I was cooped in the house for about half a year? Probably. Luckily, a sunny day is never too distant in my country and the sun will shine again soon. […]
Simple Garlic Confit
We’re going back to basics today and delving into the world of garlic! I have to be honest with you and say I’m quite biased towards garlic. I love it and I will pile loads of it where I feel garlic should be. Even if that means getting weird stares from people around me or […]
