This week, we’re heading to the Philippines for a culinary adventure bursting with bold flavors, comforting textures, and rich cultural history. From savory classics like adobo and sinigang to sweet treats like bibingka and halo-halo, Filipino cuisine offers a delicious blend of influences from Spain, China, and Southeast Asia. I’ve curated a menu that highlights some of the most beloved dishes, with easy adaptations for the home cook, perfect for warming up your kitchen and exploring something new.
Alongside all the cooking, I’ve been diving into We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, a hauntingly lyrical YA mystery that’s equal parts gripping and emotionally raw. Set against the backdrop of a privileged but crumbling family estate, the story unravels through the eyes of an unreliable narrator trying to piece together the truth of a summer gone wrong. It’s the kind of book that lingers after the last page, leaving you questioning memory, guilt, and the stories we tell ourselves. Perfect for late night reading with a bowl of champorado.
