Nothing says “Good morning” quite like a plate of golden scrambled eggs. Most of us take scrambled eggs for granted. But there’s a fine line between a dry dense mass at one extreme to a wet gloopy mess at the other; and the light fluffy perfection of scrambled eggs done right. Ingredients 6 free range […]

Gabby’s Pork Adobo
Adobo, the quintessential Filipino dish. Forget lechon and its pretensions; rarely is adobo served at fiestas and gatherings. You’re more likely to find it at Juan and Juana dela Cruz’s dinner table. That’s because adobo is your honest everyday working man’s (and woman’s) fare. Adobo is a dish you learn at your mother’s knee. Each […]
Nutella and Ricotta Pudding
This recipe started life as Karen Martini‘s croissant and ricotta pudding. But as is always the case when I’m in the kitchen, a bit of situation substitution manages to creep in. This time I replaced the croissant with raisin loaf, the Frangelico with Kahlua and the vanilla bean with vanilla extract. Dare I say my […]

My number one criteria for food preparation is something that I can whip up in 30 minutes – tops! I am what you would […]
Migo’s Spaghetti Bolognese
Just what is it with kids and spaghetti Bolognese? Picture this. A cute toddler in her high chair, plump cheeks, a mass of ringlets on her head, empty bowl in front of her and red stains all over her face. No need to be told. You know straightaway that she’d just plowed her way through a […]
Leche Flan
Introduction by Charina (find her at Glory Box) I made this leche flan from my friend Sol Cruz‘s recipe. Sol is one of those cooks who have a natural knack for whipping up great food without the aid of a recipe. She’s also too modest to trumpet her talent that I had to practically drag this […]
