I grew up on a small province . I have one elder brother and one youngest sister. My father is a retired employee in dole Philppines. My mother is a employee in municipal government. My mother started teaching us to cook as early as we were 9 or 12. There was a reason for that. My father would only be at home for 2 days a month at most. My mother had to take care of everything: growing crops, feeding livestock, cooking for us. When we were 9 to 12 years old, we all started to help our mother to do homework. My elder brother "king" would go to the market and help my mother to buy some ingredients, while my youngest sister angel would help do laundry and I would cook for the whole family. When my sisters finished their work, they would come to the kitchen and help me out. I can still remember the tears in my mother’s eyes when she saw the first dishes we cooked in our lives.
The recipes I learned were not written down. So I am writing to a large extent from memory although I still prepare many of these dishes frequently. When I learned to cook, it was just, put so much of this and so much of that. I learned at an early age to adjust my recipes to taste. I encourage you to feel free to modify my recipes to your taste. If you like something spicier, add more pepper for example. Cooking is easy and natural.
I am graduated at Goldenstate college here in General Santos City. taking up Hotel and Restaurant Management.
I join in culinary competition in Davao City name Mindanao Culinary Festival somewhere here in the Philippines.
