In case you couldn’t tell from the video I’m about to show you, I was what millenials call, “fangirling”. Yesterday, I was able to talk and cook vegan Filipino food with my idol, vegan pioneer, Miyoko Schinner at Miyoko’s Kitchen. For me, it was like baking with the vegan Julia Childs – live! Together, we baked a special…
Achuete Oil and Other Food Gifts for the Party Host
Is it just me or is 2016 flying by so fast? I couldn’t believe that the holiday season is almost here -again! While the holidays may be a bit stressful at times, I do like the spirit of gift-giving. One thing I learned is that even though the host insists you don’t cook or bring anything to the party, you should…
Minatamis na Saging (Sweetened Saba Bananas)
You can find banana trees almost everywhere in the Philippines. Most often than not, you’ll see them on the streets, backyards, commercial spaces, and of course at banana farms and plantations. Banana trees in the Philippines are what lemon trees are in California. I guess that’s why the Philippines is one of the leading global exporters of…
3-Ingredient Mango Coconut Popsicles
“It’s super creamy like ice cream, I like it!”, my nephew beamed with excitement after taking a bite of the vegan mango coconut popsicles that I made for him and his brother. Lately, I’ve been spending more time with my nephews. I see them more now because they’re on a summer break from school. And because they…
Vegan Calamari (Astig 2.0)
I thought vegan Calamari would be perfect to eat at a game night – the NBA Finals Game 7 to be exact. I was ready with my ingredients and ready to make vegan Calamari for my family. But time flew by especially because the game was on the same day as Father’s Day and we took our dad…
Vegan Ube Milkshake Recipe
One Sunday my friend asked me if I’d like to go with her to a pop-up restaurant in the city where they sell sandwiches and milkshakes with vegan options including a vegan ube milkshake. Vegan ube milkshakes? I don’t recall having had one before. I was as intrigued as she was so I went with her…
Ask Astig Vegan (Coconut Virgin Oil, Bread Flour, Probiotics)
Seeing all the vegan Filipino food posted on Instagram and other social media sites brings me so much joy and hope. I notice that more and more people are cooking vegan food including vegan Filipino cuisine! In fact when I attend a Filipino party, at least one parent says their kid is vegetarian or vegan; Progress! Along…
Moringa Malunggay for Mother’s Day
My mom’s nickname is called Malunggay, named after a superfood leafy green that grows abundantly in the Philippines. So for Mother’s Day, I’m paying homage to her cute nickname as well as giving her the gift of health and longevity. I’m planning to give her artisanal Malunggay powder. My mom’s name is Malou, hence “Malou-nggay”. You could give all…

Shredded Cabbage Salad with Kalamansi juice
Spring is officially here in the US. The temperature is rising and the sun starts to linger at night (until 7pm!). I find myself craving for something refreshing in this warmer weather. I still have some leftover kalamansi from making a marmalade so I thought of making Shredded Cabbage Salad with Kalamansi juice. I love the crunch…
