Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cookie Cake
Ah, February! The month of love. Quite frankly, this is the least romantic season (of them all). I feel, as if, majority of what Valentine’s Day is mainly marketing.

Vegan Pandesal (Filipino Bread Rolls Tangzhong Method)
As a kid, my parents had always made sure that there was fresh bread on the table. While they were not bakers, they’d make every effort to wake up early in the morning, before work, to drive to the nearest bakery and buy a loaf of bread or half a dozen pandesal. I…

Let’s call for a celebration! An excuse to eat cake! We’ll call this occasion “congratulations – we’ve – survived – nine – months – in – this – crazy – pandemic.” I don’t know about you but I’m just about ready to eat another slice of cake and pop open a bottle of…
Vegan Braised Eggplant (2 Ways)
Eggplants are quite the unique fruit (yes, it is a fruit due it to its edible seeds). Because it is more bitter and savory than I would imagine a fruit would be. It is (and should be) an essential in most households as there are a lot of delicious ways of cooking and…
Buchi (Sesame Seed Balls)
Let’s talk about Buchi (pronounced as boo-chee). Also known as butsi, buchi-buchi, or Jian Dui. Buchi is a Chinese pastry coated in sesame seeds and fried with a mung bean filling inside. If you have never had buchi before, think Japanese mochi but with a crispy-nutty exterior to contrast with the chewy interior….
