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…
Kalamansi Marmalade
Kalamansi Marmalade has a special place in my heart -and in my kitchen. Growing up in the Philippines, I never had access to lemons and limes. If there’s a Filipino equivalent, that’s kalamansi. Most Filipinos use it to make fresh kalamansi juice,which is perfect on a hot, scorching day. Filipinos also use kalamansi to flavor condiments and marinades or…
Vegan Filipino Crab Cake Omelette (Tortang Alimasag)
Every word in this dish screams NOT VEGAN: Filipino. Crab. Cake. Omelette. I thought I had to say bye bye to this dish forever. I should have known better that almost anything nowadays could be veganized -including Filipino Crab Cake Omelette. Don’t be mistaken though, Filipino Crab Cake Omelette or “Tortang Alimasag” is neither just crab…
Vegetable Lumpiang Shanghai
Vegetable Lumpia vs Lumpiang Shanghai In Philippine cuisine, there are two kinds of fried lumpia: Vegetable Lumpia and Shanghai.

How to Make Coconut Shreds and Coconut Milk
Nothing beats fresh, especially when it comes to coconut shreds and coconut milk. You can smell and taste the difference.

Frozen grated coconut usually does not have the same crunch as fresh ones. Yet, canned…

8 Vegan Superbowl Recipes
Superbowl is typically not an event I would celebrate simply because I didn’t grow up watching American football. But something exciting is happening this year. Superbowl 50 will be held in the bay area, my current residence! The entire bay area is buzzing and the local news has been covering the anticipation. The city of Santa Clara…
Astig Vegan Bibingka Mix
The idea behind the Astig Vegan Bibingka Mix started after learning that some of my friends don’t have any luck finding ingredients for my Bibingka rice cakes. A friend once messaged me on Facebook, saying he’ll try my recipe for Bibingka for a holiday party at work. Unfortunately he messaged me a little too late. The stores that carry ingredients like flaxseed meal…
Vegan Filipino Spaghetti
There used to be only one way I knew how a spaghetti sauce should be -savory, sweet, and meaty. Growing up in the Philippines, I was exposed to only the Filipino-style spaghetti sauce. While the Italian version focuses on the flavors of the tomatoes, the Filipino version focuses on the sweet meat. You could just…
3 Last Minute Halloween Recipes, Vegan Filipino
Originally, I wasn’t going to post anything about Halloween. After all, the Filipino tradition of Halloween is a religious event where Filipinos flock to the cemeteries to pray for their deceased loved ones.
