If I have to name a favorite vegan ingredient that I love to cook with, I would have to go with mushrooms. For those who are new to the vegan lifestyle, you’d be amazed by how versatile mushrooms could be. And for the vegan OGs, you know what I’m talking about! Mushrooms can veganize dishes that would…
Vegan “Jollibee” Peach Mango Pie
You’ve been warned, this recipe is “sinful”. Peach Mango Pie was something I used to love and would usually get at a Filipino restaurant called Jollibee (the McDonald’s of the Philippines). The filling had ripe yellow mangoes and ripe yellow peaches, and their sweetness and texture go so well together. The crust was crunchy and very comforting. Jollibee‘s Peach Mango Pie…

Lechon Paksiw is a sweet and tangy Filipino dish made from leftover lechon or roasted pig. Usually, Filipinos serve roasted pig at parties and big gatherings.

Top 5 Tips to Keep Your Knives Sharp
Growing up, I was the designated daughter to cut the ingredients for my mom’s cooking. In Tagalog, we call this process of cutting, “gayat“. I was never fond of this chore because it would take a long time. It took awhile because I was using a dull knife. Even so, I didn’t like sharp knives because I was…
Squash and Long Beans in Coconut Milk
Every time my sister is in town, she has only one request. She would ask me to make”Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw“, or “Squash and Long Beans in Coconut Milk”. Over time, her request has become frequent and automatic that I don’t bother to ask her. Recently, we celebrated her birthday and sure enough, it was the vegan dish on the…
Roasted Tomatoes with Coconut Vinegar
Sometimes people ask me, “Is it hard to go vegan?”. They seemed baffled and amazed, presuming veganism is challenging and daunting at the same time. They would admire my work as “going the extra mile” to sustain my lifestyle. I was once in their shoes, so I rather not give them attitude and feel offended. Instead, I like…
What to eat Vegan in San Francisco: Flying Falafel
If I have to choose between veggie burger and falafel wrap, I’d go with falafel wrap hands down. Falafel done right always makes my day. It’s crunchy, savory, sometimes mildly peppery, and great with hummus, tahini, veggies, and pita bread. The perfect combo that beats any veggie burger. Falafel is traditionally vegan so if I couldn’t find a…
Jasmine Ginger Lemonade & Calamansi Juice with Basil
Easter is almost here and if you are hosting a party, I’m sure you have your dishes already set. But what about drinks? Perhaps you got your cocktails planned out, your mimosas and white wine. And for the kiddos and those who don’t drink alcohol? In case you need more ideas for non-alcoholic drinks, I hope this…
Asian Greens Soup with Squash, Tofu, & Enoki Mushrooms
Living in San Francisco, I feel lucky for having many vegan options when dining out. One of these options is my favorite soup called “Braised Pea Leaves” with pumpkin, pressed tofu, and salted chili broth served at a restaurant called Mission Chinese. Mission Chinese is a quaint restaurant in the Mission district. Some people frown upon this place, calling it…
