Watch Jessica Soho this evening and look out for the segment on kinilaw or kilawin (a story in reaction to the dish demonstrated by Gaita Fores and Myrna Segismundo at Madrid Fusion a few weeks back) — we helped with a couple of different versions that were shot in Cebu by the seashore and in the restaurant! :)

Just a quick note to let you know I have emailed “Mandy”, “izaia” and “Rona Y” to request how I can best get their prizes of lard and jam to them. Hopefully they will get back to me pronto so I can send the stuff off to them. Stay tuned for 2-3 more “giveaways” this week… You’ll have to play to win. Some cookbooks, a molave board we made ourselves and a fantastic market basket up for grabs! Thanks!

We were deep-frying some squash blossoms stuffed with mozzarella and boquerones one day and I realized I had some wonderful sage leaves in the fridge from a recent herbs/greens delivery.
