All About Food

i love food. yes, i love food. my body says it all.

i have always wanted to enroll with the culinary school associated with the holiday gym and spa. i heard that the beginner's track costs around 60,000 pesos. i can afford that! they will teach how to handle knife, proper cutting of meat, etc...then 60,000 would be too expensive! hell, no!

being blessed with parents who are gifted with skillful hands, creative minds and unabashed taste for dishes, i too have explored cooking. whenever i throw parties at home, people always believed i hired the services of expensive caterers. nope! i cannot afford their taste. it's just to bland...

below are some of the preparations i did, whenever i have time. all of them were based on experiments and of course, experiences from cooking.

 beef with stir-fried veggies...the secret? oyster sauce!

 from top to bottom: my personal favorite, fresh garden salad; rice, the one i did not cook;
the green on the top left is a gelatine salad made from seaweeds topped with pomegranates;
penne pasta with cherry tomatoes and garden salads from eden;
spring rools (a.k.a. lumpia); beef and veggies;
instant blueberry cheesecake topped with peaches;
mango float with cinnamon; and,
salad with some fruits mixed.

 this is one of my comfort foods, bihon mixed with chorizo bilbao

and my favorite of all desserts, blueberry cheese cake baked to perfection!
