Lately I’ve been getting invitations to do food demos, speak at panel discussions, and organize potlucks. I’ve never been this busy with Astig Vegan! I’m grateful and excited to take part in all these events and to interact with followers and new people alike. I think it’s safe to say that the interest for vegan…
You’re Invited: Bay Area Vegan Potluck 2017
Before summer ends, I would love to invite you to a vegan potluck at Temescal Park on August 19. I hope to enjoy the last days of summer with delicious, vegan food with warm and friendly people like you. I could already visualize a long spread of flavorful main dishes, snacks, desserts, and drinks -all…
Vegan Filipino Macaroni Salad
Compared to the Italian, Mediterranean, and other versions, Filipino Macaroni Salad is the sweeter and heartier counterpart. If it’s up to me, I would eat a whole bowl as entree and dessert (and I have). There’s something irresistible in the creamy elbow macaroni, sweet and tender pineapple, and savory touch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. But…
Vegan Filipino Peanut Stew, Kare-Kare, with Video
Kare-Kare is a classic and beloved Filipino stew made of meat and vegetables in thick and creamy peanut sauce. Traditionally, Kare-Kare comes with a condiment of shrimp paste or bagoong as well as a side of rice. Filipinos often reserve Kare-Kare for big parties like town fiestas, christenings, even weddings. It’s a dish that’s both celebratory and celebrated….
Upcoming Astig Vegan Food Demo (April-May 2017)
April and May are big months for Astig Vegan. I just recently held a cooking demo yesterday for Earth Day Celebration in San Francisco (pictured above) and I have four more lined up in the coming weeks. Each event is unique with its own audience and community. Public speaking doesn’t get old or easy for me. It’s…
Vegan Filipino Chicharon, Two Ways
Vegan Filipino Chicharon is a fun little snack that has dried shiitake mushrooms coated in rice flour and sweet rice flour then deep-fried. Another way to make it is by deep-frying dried yuba skin. You could serve vegan Filipino Chicharon as a snack, appetizer, or party food. For best results, I suggest serving them with spicy vinegar…
Last-Minute Valentines Day Gift: Vegan Rocky Road Bites
For me, inspiration comes from everywhere. Sometimes, I get inspiration from non-vegan things, like a Valentines Day recipe from the Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Funny thing is, I wasn’t a big fan of Martha Stewart until I became vegan. And you know that Martha Stewart is far from being vegan. But I guess it’s her love…
Putobumbong – Newly Improved Recipe
Because everyone is feeling the holiday spirit (I know I am!), I’m featuring something classic and quintessential where I came from. Back in the Philippines, the holiday season won’t be the same without Putobumbong, a sweet rice cake coated in grated coconut, slathered with butter, and served with muscovado and brown sugar. Putobumbong in the…
6th Year Anniversary Dinner at Millennium Oakland
Chris and I recently celebrated our 6th year anniversary. It didn’t feel like 6 years, it felt like 5 years and a half, j/k! Our years together flew by fast. It seems like it wasn’t so long ago when we had our first date at Millennium. He asked me out on a date and he…
Vegan Bibingka Espesyal Recipe + Giveaway
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…
