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…
Vegan Lechon Paksiw Recipe
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. As popular lechon is to a lot of Filipinos, the host somehow still ends up with leftovers, and that’s when the host will make Lechon Paksiw. Paksiw is a process that means “cooked…
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…
Suman Moron for Valentines Day
The name itself is a conversation starter. After all, it sounds like you’re referring to “moron” as in “idiot” in the English language. Perhaps you could make it a clever way to break the ice on a date and have a good chuckle. Or to spite Valentines Day when it is not your preferred holiday. After all,…
Superfood Vegan Polvoron Recipe
“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…
