“Super foods” used to be so foreign to me. Back then, I wouldn’t even touch hemp seeds, maca root powder, chia seeds, and the like with a ten-foot pole. I was sticker shock by the price! They’re usually double if not triple the price compared to other vegetables and fruits in season. I just didn’t understand what was…
HOLIDAY RECIPE: VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
When I think of the holidays, I dream of indulgent sweets like cookies and truffles. Maybe it’s the cold weather or the holiday spirit that puts me in the mood for them. What I’m not in the mood for is leaving the house to brave the cold, which is why I rather make my own truffles instead of…
Vegan Filipino: Pinakbet Stew
Pinakbet is a hearty Filipino stew made of vegetables like squash, eggplant, string beans, okra, and many more. It’s traditionally seasoned with onions, garlic, and bagoong or shrimp paste but you could also use soy sauce. It has a nice savory taste that pairs well with a side of rice-make it brown rice or quinoa…
Vegan Coconut Pie “Buko Pie”
The holidays wouldn’t be complete without pies-warm, sweet, filling pies. To change things up a bit from apple and pumpkin pies, I’ll be making and bringing Vegan Coconut Pie to the party. Vegan Coconut Pie or Buko Pie is a delicacy of Northern Philippines primarily in provinces like Laguna and Tagaytay. Its coconut goodness will…
Roasted Caramelized Kabocha Squash
Recently I’ve been into oven roasting everything, roasting kale, roasting brussels sprouts, and now roasting kabocha squash. I love that the process of roasting makes the vegetables taste sweeter and more charred, not to mention it’s also very simple to do. One of those “set it and forget it” type of cooking. Healthwise, I think…
Beer Battered Kang Kong Recipe

For my latest video recipe, I’m featuring just that: Beer Battered Kang kong. The recipe takes less than ten minutes to make which…
Vegan Lugaw Recipe
Aside from this blog, I also share my recipes on my YouTube channel. At first I thought I would have an instant slew of subscribers. Little did I know that it takes a lot of hard work to produce a shoot and there’s no guarantee if somebody, aside from family and friends who I urged to check…
No Bake Lentil Flatbread, Gluten Free and Vegan
I’m a sucker for lentil chips and lentil snacks so I was looking for a way to create something similar at home. I’ve tried two ways in making the flatbread: with cooked lentils and with uncooked lentils. Both versions resulted to great flavor and texture. The first version, the one with cooked lentils, reminded me more of…
Lentil Coconut Hominy
To further learn and further appreciate vegan cooking, I’m taking an online plant-based cooking course on Rouxbe Cooking School and right now I’m on the topic of beans and legumes. One of the assignments was to create a dish based on a legume of our choice and of course I immediately thought lentils. Lentils has got to…
Vegan Sisig Recipe
In this video, I’m going to show you a vegan version of Sisig, a Filipino dish traditionally made with pig parts. This vegan version tastes just like the original except you can make this in half the time. The traditional version would take three hours to cook! This vegan version takes 30 minutes or less, especially if you’re going to use high…
