Born in the Philippines, Amlag immigrated to the U.S. as a child and had buko pie for the first time as an adult when she made renowned chefs Amy Besa and Romy Dorotan s recipe for herself. Amlag then put her twist on the pie, adding the streusel on top ( I love streusel on anything ) and using much thinner slices of buko in the dish. She began offering the treat, initially only for special holidays when Hood Famous first opened up shop in Ballard.
Customers liked it so much that it became a permanent addition to their menu when the bakery expanded into a café in the International District in 2019. The dessert is routinely sold out around major holidays, a new Thanksgiving and Christmas staple for many families across the city.

At home in Zimbabwe, says Bianco Martine, Christmas begins with dramatic festivity. “Uncles and aunties and cousins, they will slaughter a cow and then after church, where we would go for prayer, we would play loud music, make dessert and dance.”
Baker and healthcare worker Martine grew up in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, the city of kings. Her father died when she was a baby. She was raised by her mother, a soldier, and her stepfather, a policeman, and her grandmother, who at 84, is still going strong. For Christmas, Martine’s grandmother makes umqombothi, a beer made from maize and sorghum that ferments for seven days.
