I just made your Greek pork chops and it turned out to be fantastic. I salted it more than usual and my family loved it. I used real Greek oregano. This is definitely a keeper and will make it often.

MM, I always enjoy reading your site and so far I’ve tried Bacolod Inasal, Paella, and currently contemplating to attempt a lechon de leche based on your series. I got the inasal on the 3rd try, the first it lacked the asuete look, the next one failed since I used asuete powder which was not a good sight. For the paella I just took some pointers from your recipe since my mom already had her version. On the lechon, I want to make it a project sometime after this rainy season since I donâ€™t have covered space to set up. More power to you and yes, the index suggestion or coming up with a book of recipes is great idea. Btw, the Sunday Inquirer Magazine mentions your blog site from time time in their foodie section by M. Salcedo, iba na talaga sikat!!!

1. parchment paper fish, asian and mediterranean versions. had this many times coz it’s simple but healthy and yummy.
2. lechon paksiw.
3. tocino. i added lots of garlic, though.
4. adobong atay and balunbalunan
5. spicy eggplant with pork. i sometimes add thinly-sliced shiitake mushrooms, the dried ones soaked in water.

so many recipes, so little time… =D

This will be my first time to blog here on your site though I’m a regular visitor for more than a year. I have 3 pinoy food sites that i religiously visit(as much as my time and internet connection permits) — that’s pinoycook, yours & babyrambutan. Needless to say that these three sites serves as my bible of ‘pinoy unlimited’ online recipes. When it comes to ‘knock off’ desserts & local sweets, i always depend on your site. I like the way you detailed the procedures & with pictures of course :)which makes a seemingly complicated recipe to be relevantly easy. Even an intimated cook would be tempted to try. Best example for me is your version of sans rival(almond torte)which i would never dare to try even with a proper recipe! thanks for blogging your agonizing attempt, that gives me the push to make an effort no matter what the outcome would be. Surprisingly, it was a success! surely worth the pain :)
As for my all time favorite recipe courtesy of your site, it is Chocolate Pudding Cake by Francois Payard. Never fails to impress my guests. Thanks to you and keep inspiring us to re-invent, improvise & dare to try.
you’re doing an excellent job :)

I just remembered, I tried your Apple pie too. The apple filling was a bit runny, but I’ll give it a try again…

Hi Marketman,

I have tried lots of your recipe, some as is found here some tweaked a bit… some of the recipes that I have tried are:

* tapa
* gingerbread (for man and house)
* chicken inasal
* wild blueberry muffin (used it as base recipe for other fruit muffin as well, simply delish!)
* pandesal (reduced salt, increased sugar by a half cup)
* brioche
* beef mechado
* torta (once only, due to health reason :D)
* ensaimada
* chocolate chip cookies (the one that you featured lately. It is now cooling in the fridge, to be baked tomorrow)

I’m sure I have tried other recipes that you featured but I can’t remember at the moment. Thanks for always sharing these recipes and your experiences with it.

MM,

I’m glad that lee and others mentioned santol juice. Saw some really big and nice-looking local santol selling at P3 apiece in Robinson’s supermarkets. I was thinking of what to do with them as they are obviously in season now. Any recipe for santol jam? Mangosteen season is two months away and you are right, prices in Manila might not be too attractive for a jam session. Somebody has to go to Davao or Cebu to get them for us. In the meantime, let’s try santol?

Dear MM,
We’ve tried a number of your recipes. Three that stand out are:
– kalamansi cupcakes – very delicious, great texture and just moist enough. We reduced the amount of butter and adjusted amount of kalamansi to taste.
– pan de sal – perfect recipe!!! very authentic, brought back memories for all of us!
– kare-kare – ang sarap! (very yummy!), when i served this, someone said “is that a la marketman?” ^^
Thanks so much!
