Cooking has been my passion for over 30 years, and most of my recipes are from my mom's Carinderia (an eatery serving home-style cooking) back home. They're not gourmet, just your everyday cooking.

If you really want to cook authentic Filipino food, then it is essential that you cook with authentic ingredients. And, sometimes, that's a problem for someone like me, who lives in New Jersey. So at times, I improvise.

I substitute ingredients with what's available and I omit what I don't eat, but I still try to replicate the flavor.

I believe great recipes are meant to be shared...And, I don't claim to be an expert, but I do have a lot of great recipes I'd like to share with you.

My approach and procedures may be unconventional and my dish pairings and presentation may be unusual but, believe me, I get rave reviews...

So if you have happened to come across this site, it is my guess that you are looking for some unique and exciting Filipino Food Recipes.

And, whether you are searching for a kind of comfort food...Or, craving a unique taste that will remind you of the Philippines...Or, if you are simply looking for something to whip-up quickly for dinner with the basic pantry ingredients available only to a Filipino kitchen...Then, you will find it here.

I now invite you into my kitchen to re-discover Filipino food, my way.
