Recados Filipinos

http://recadosfilipinos.blogspot.com

In my mind I always wonder what's for dinner.

I cook on my free time. And if I don't have time, I make the time.

Going to groceries after work and cooking something up for dinner is my therapy. Sometimes I consider it deliverance.

I have had no formal training, I just like the feeling of sitting in a kitchen smelling the entire process of transforming a multitude of fresh ingredients into one harmonious dish.
