Cooking with love is the best way

How I developed my  passion for cooking

When I was a kid, my father invaded the Carinderia. He was a passionate cook and loved to experiment, so he made me feel like everything we cooked was sort of mischievous, asking my opinion in every ingredient, valuing my taste and giving me the credit with my siblings.

My favorite things to cook

I enjoy baking cakes, cookies and trying new recipes for salads, also love making lasagna and pasta. But my thing is to look into the kitchen cabinets and fridge to invent a new recipe from scratch or using leftovers. In my family's words those are my "help me God" recipes; they love the outcome.

How I learned

My parents taught me my first steps in cooking. Nanay Tess is an amazing teacher in picking vegetables and buying meat!! Later I learned a lot from my cousin Ate Lyn who is a very accomplished cook. Since childhood I loved to collect recipes from magazines and newspaper clippings . I work  in Penang  for 1 month, acquire some taste and cached good tips. My  husband Ric is my health Ledger and i need to learned to cook healthy foods. I love to watch cooking shows on TV and exchange recipes with my friends. I keep learning all I can all the time. And would you believe one of the company ask me to audition in cooking show after i gave birth. he...he...he.... funny but who knows im the next cooking show star.
