Contrary to what we know, Bicolano food is not just about being spicy
Mesa ni Misis has begun a series called Bahay Kubo kitchen where we feature cooks from the different regions in the Philippines. We then ask them to choose their three favorite crops to use from the area. This is to promote not only the local cuisine, but more importantly to highlight crops that are endemic to the area. The guest cooks then share recipes they have making use of the native crop, while I create a new recipe using the same crop. The idea is to find new ways to serve up local native produce in creative new ways and hopefully give people a new way to look forward to eating them.
