About
Since this site hasn’t made a name for itself yet Seigfred will just tell you a short story:
When he was 6 years old his mother Salvacion (that’s how he calls her until now) bought him a kiddie kitchen set of miniature pots, pans and firewood fueled stove, all made of clay. Because of his insistent demand to cook real food, his grandmother, Lola Purita (the only one that would indulge him) would give him raw ingredients equivalent of cat food. He would cook them with glee and eat them with no hint of disgust even if it tastes like earth. Because his grandmother loved him so grandly, she would pick him up and let him stand on a high chair to watch while she’s cooking. It has always been that way until Lola Purita was sent to the hospital because that’s how the story’s supposed to be. On Lola’s deathbed she gave his favoritest (imagine the envious cousins) grandkid a magic wooden spoon and told him to hold on to his passion for cooking then gave up her last breath. He promised never to let go, in tears and drool.
He broke that promise.
Until now…
Armed with a magic wooden spoon and a deathbed promise he relentlessly cooks every minute of the day. He cooks anything. He eats anything too!
Alright I’ll end the story now because it is getting way out of hand.
This is great and helpful.more recipes please.

Hi, Ziggy,
Salamat! I love cooking but I find cooking Pinoy food so intimidating. Now, you can show us. But take it easy. Not all of us have a magical spoon
cheers

Great looking site pare… thanks for the foodbuzz invite… nice to know another FilOz in foodblogdom….
Sig, just like u someone taught me how to cook authebtic Filipino dishes. Tho me her don’t get along when it comes to cooking we break the barriers, and that’s my mom. From pagsaing without the rice cooker to her super delicious elaborate and extravagant kare-kare and calderata she taught me how to make ‘em. From the raw ingredients without any alternatives (too bad its not available here in the US). She didn’t pass on any wooden spoon but she did embark one unforgetable knowledge “if u cook for ur loved ones, not because u have to but because u want to. U will always have the best meal ever.”
I love cooking with my gadgets stuff. I will follow your recipes and apply it this holiday season…
Thanks for the follow sa “twitter”…

Hi Ziggy
Thanks for visiting… I enjoyed that little story up there. I wish I had a grandma like yours (although my grandma’s name is also Purita!).
Looking forward to reading more of your posts!

Hi Ziggy!
Thanks for visiting my site. It’s such a delight to meet another fellow Pinoy blogger.
Both my Lolas were a big inspiration in my cooking journey, as was yours. Isn’t it fantastic that we can carry that tradition forward?
Will come back to visit your site again soon.
