Cooking has always been my passion and it is rewarding to see that my family enjoys eating what I cook for them. My husband also loves to cook – roasting is his favorite – and I love to bake.

Get-togethers are both an exciting and nerve-wracking experience for me. Exciting because of the chance to socialize and unwind. Nerve-wracking because sometimes it is difficult to decide what to cook.

Bacon is one of my favorites – if it’s cooked right. However, I never liked cooking bacon as the fat always seems to love my face! I considered wearing a full face mask just to cook bacon.

“Leche Flan” is the Filipino version of Crème brûlée. The main difference is that leche flan is Jello-like inconsistency, while crème brûlée is pudding-like.

Cooking has always been my passion. As a full-time mother who also works at home, cooking became my hobby and “me-time.” I also love sharing my recipes although there are times when there are just too many things going on.

Curry is an Indian dish by origin but the dish spread its popularity in Asia, the UK, South Africa, and the West Indies. There are also various curry spices – red, green, and yellow – which are a mixture of up to 20 different spices.

As a huge fan of Ree Drummond, I have always admired and loved her cooking style. Her recipes are quick, easy and not complicated, which makes them suitable for a busy wife and mother like me.
