Cooking Different Cuisines, Pinoy Style.

We'll share recipes with you soon! :) 

We don't have culinary experience, we just love cooking. Both our grandmothers are excellent cooks. (that's where we probably got the skills) 

Our posts on recipes will be as short as possible. I want to avoid the unnecessary words. :p I'm not really very good with describing the taste, the texture and the aroma of whatever we're cooking. So I'll probably just write down ingredients and the step by step process. :) 

Anyway...

Like I said, we both loooove cooking for family, friends, for ourselves. :) We make it a point to cook for each other once a week, depending on the difficulty of the recipe. Sometimes we just make do with whatever we have in the refrigerator. But we've always wanted to try cooking challenging recipes from different cuisines. 

Cooking foreign cuisine can be challenging since there are ingredients that aren't locally available. What we usually do is to buy ingredients that are cheaper, readily available and  will satisfy your Filipino taste. :)
