As promised – my version of how the class went yesterday… This is definitely going to be a longer post than most Mondays, but worth it. Though I was expecting 12-15 participants, we ended up with 7 (including my brother-in-law and myself), but that did not stop us from completing nine unfamiliar recipes andContinue reading “Chef’s Night Off – Learning the Foods of the Philippines”

Photos From Today’s Adventures

I’m hoping most, if not all, of you will be able to attend.Continue reading ““Memories of Philippine Kitchens””
