Hi peeps! I’ve been so busy lately with other projects that I haven’t been able to share some love here. After a few full scorching weeks, things are finally starting to die down and I can calmly bake through some exciting recipes. I always tend to gravitate towards nostalgic comfort food because they never fail […]

Lemon Garlic Herb No Knead Focaccia
Carrying all the lightness plucked from the Easter celebrations, I’m heading into the week with renewed energy and enthusiasm. There’s nothing like a quick break to refresh the mind and body. I did a quick flow just a while ago and now I feel wide awake. If you get the chance to move your body […]
Champagne Tossed Pear Salad with Chevre

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 […]
