Nothing beats fresh, especially when it comes to coconut shreds and coconut milk. You can smell and taste the difference. Usually, canned coconut milk has additives, thickeners, and preservatives that take away pure coconut taste and that wonderful coconut aroma. 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.

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…

After all, the Filipino tradition of Halloween is a religious event where Filipinos flock to the cemeteries to pray for their deceased loved ones. No costume parties, no Halloween feasts, no trick or treating. Times have changed and I would hear about some of my nephews…

Some say it’s a great vegan option for those who miss meat while others advocate sticking to celebrating food that does not resemble an animal product.

How to Make Vegan Pancit Palabok (Newly Improved Recipe) (Gluten-Free)
Undeniably, Pancit is one of the most recognizable Filipino dishes in the US. After all, it’s a savory noodle dish always present at parties and potlucks. But unknown to some, Pancit comes in many forms –Palabok, Bihon, Luglog, Malabon, etc. Out of all, my favorite is Palabok. That’s because Palabok is savory and “eggy”, with orange sauce…
Kitchen Solutions: Freezing Citrus Juice
Have you ever received tons of fruit harvests from family and friends? Here in California where the weather yields to a favorable harvest every summer, I would get bags and bags of lemons and kalamansi (a Filipino citrus that also grows in California). I would be so delighted when I get them! The only thing is, I…
10 Vegan Filipino Soups and Stews for Fall
To me, fall season is the season for soups and stews. Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved hearty stews. Granted there was no fall season in the Philippines (only summer and winter), stews have been my choice of dish. My stews are now vegan but they are just as hearty and comforting as my childhood…
