BINAGOONGAN

Binagoongan is such a classic Filipino dish. Fermented shrimp paste, a little heat, and a lot of rice to go with it.

SAFFRON SNICKERDOODLES

This is officially my new favourite cookie. Hello saffron snickerdoodles. How did I ever live life the prior 30 years without you? Saffron in cookies - who knew?

NO MI FAN

Ahhhhhh, my sticky rice dreams have come true. I have successfully made no mi fan, aka Chinese sticky rice from scratch. And I think I have eaten 1/3 of the pot. Oops.

CHICKEN ADOBO

It’s been possibly a decade since I have made chicken adobo. 10 years is a long time. It’s a mashup between my mother’s, my friend Michelle’s and my own version of this classic Filipino dish. So much better than the original!

BEEF AND VEGETABLE STIR FRY

Stir fries are such an easy meal to make. I used to make them a lot when I was younger when I first started cooking at the age of 10. It’s also something that I believe people new to cooking tend to cook. Hey, it’s easy! And since I’ve been trying to teach my boyfriend how to cook. It’s so crazy how I am this huge food nerd and I have a Burger King-loving boyfriend who hasn't ever cooked a day in his life! I thought I’d start off nice and easy with a beef and vegetable stir fry.

ETHIOPIAN LENTIL STEW

Now here’s a bowl I can get behind: Ethiopian lentil stew. This might be my new favourite lentil dish, beating out Indian Dahl. No, seriously. It’s THAT good.

GINATAAN KALABASA AT SITAW

Woot, another Filipino dish I can cross off the list! Who knew how easy Filipino dishes are to make from scratch? I made ginataan kalabasa at sitaw - a butternut squash and long bean stew cooked in coconut milk and shrimp paste.

GRAPE, CARAMELIZED ONION AND THYME GALETTE

It’s been a while since I made a galette! And since I had some produce that weren’t looking to great, I threw them all into this recipe. I created a grape, caramelized onion and thyme galette.

CRAZY RICH ASIAN MILLIONAIRE SHORTBREAD

Can millionaire shortbread get any better? I mean, shortbread, caramel and chocolate? I went there with an Asian twist - matcha shortbread, miso date salted caramel, white chocolate, and chocolate wafers. BOOM. All we need is a little gold flakes for this crazy rich Asian millionaire shortbread.
