Congratulations to @pchm (Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement) on your 11th anniversary! 🇵🇭✨

I’m deeply grateful for this community that has supported my journey in preserving and celebrating our seafood heritage. Many of you have been my mentors, cheerleaders, and sounding boards as I transitioned into building Sinaya Seafood 🐟🌊

And so happy to finally meet Tita Clara Lapuz of Mama Sita’s, and of course, Tita @felicepstamaria, who always generously shares her wisdom and helps me deepen my understanding and appreciation of Filipino Food history and coastal economy development 🩵

Here’s to many more years of keeping our culinary heritage alive—one story, one dish, and one community at a time 🇵🇭

My second cooking class was all about Filipino food from the recipes of no other than the legendary Nora Daza. 🇵🇭❤️

And who better to teach us how to cook them than her daughter and my very good friend, Nina Daza Puyat!

We cooked some of my personal favorites — shrimp toast, a dish I loved eating growing up, adobong baka, pinangat, bread pudding, and burong mangga.

We used recipes from the much-loved cookbook Let’s Cook with Nora Daza, recently updated by Nina.

Easy. Simple. Delicious.
The trademarks of a Nora Daza recipe, brought to life with Nina’s most charming way of cooking. ❤️

And this is just the beginning! I’ll be having more cooking classes with some of my favorite friends who love to cook and share their food stories with me.

This afternoon, it’s all about Indonesian food, taught by none other than Om William Wongso, the Culinary Ambassador of Indonesia. 🇮🇩❤️

From Spanish to Filipino favorites to Indonesian comfort food — I’m having so much fun bringing these wonderful cooks, friends, recipes and stories into my munting kitchen!

So… what cuisine should be next? 👀🌎🍴

Last day of a whirlwind 2 week visit that included readings of Suddenly Stateside:Postscript by @unsungvoicesbooks , a prepublication Readfest that starred my #historicalnovel Taxi Dancer, meetings with my Manila publishers @milfloresbooks and @tahananbooks , reunions with friends, some of whom reappear in my novel, a dawn Zoom meeting with @redhenpress marketing and media whizzes. It was a frenetic and often emotional journey. But like the Manila Galleon, I look forward to recrossing the Pacific for a full-fledged #booktour next February. Hanggang sa muli, Manila ❤️

Everyone from former congressman and current TESDA director @kiko.benitez.9638 , foremost Filipino novelist @pinoypenman , former UP Chancellor @primehunter6174 Broadcast journalist @howiesev environmental lawyer @apatlima and my marvelous high school friends @r0xanne_aquino @gimenez.maritess @ninadp8 gamely posed with the novel . Read excerpts at the Readfest hosted by @howiesev at @kapusodph the environmental arts center conjured by Ipat. It truly is good to be home. #itsmorefuninthephilippines

What a delightful afternoon at Pepita’s Snack Bar, The Lechon Diva’s newest outpost on the upoer floor of the driving range at the Manila Polo Club.

The occasion brought together good food and culinary heritage as The Lechon Diva welcomed Nina Daza-Puyat—food writer, culinary expert, cookbook and children’s book author, and former Editor-in-Chief of Appetite Magazine. Nina prepared several dishes from her cookbook, Let’s Cook with Nora (New Edition), a beautifully updated 368-page cookbook that revisits and modernizes 260 of her mother Nora Daza’s beloved Filipino recipes for today’s home kitchens.

Adding to the experience was a curated vinegar tasting by The Lechon Diva, showcasing the depth and diversity of this essential Filipino ingredient. Paired with crispy chicharon, fried kangkong leaves, and freshly made okoy, it was a delicious reminder that some of the simplest flavors are often the most memorable.

An afternoon celebrating Filipino food, culinary traditions, and the stories that keep them alive. #PepitasSnackBar #TheLechonDiva #NinaDazaPuyat #FilipinoFood #ManilaPoloClub

Spent an incredible day at The Maya Kitchen Culinary Arts Center class featuring “Flavors of the Islands” with Chef Albert Sua 🌴✨

From vibrant Caribbean-inspired dishes to rich, flavorful sauces, every recipe was thoughtfully demonstrated and surprisingly easy to follow.

A true celebration of island flavors, technique, and creativity in the kitchen—learned so much and definitely taking these flavors home with me!

Congratulations Nina Puyat for helming The Maya Kitchen ☺️🎉🎉🎉
