Once in a while, you get an opportunity so surreal you have to pinch yourself if it were true. For me, that surreal moment is to be in the same show with one of the vegan pioneers, Miyoko Schinner. Others say she’s the queen of vegan cheese but I think she’s more than that. For more…
Achuete Oil and Other Food Gifts for the Party Host
Is it just me or is 2016 flying by so fast? I couldn’t believe that the holiday season is almost here -again! While the holidays may be a bit stressful at times, I do like the spirit of gift-giving. One thing I learned is that even though the host insists you don’t cook or bring anything to the party, you should…
Philippines’ 1st Vegan Festival, Vegfest Pilipinas 2016
You’ve heard of vegan festivals in Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and other major cities in the United States. You’ve also heard of vegan festivals in other countries like Germany, UK, Australia, and Thailand, but nothing from the Philippines. That’s about to change. For the first time in history, the Philippines will have its own…
Vegan Filipino Finds at the Union City Farmers Market
The concept of farmers markets may not be anything new. Basically, you buy produce from the farmers who grow them. You get to sample the produce, buy as little or as much as you need, and deal directly with the farmers on the price. But there’s something uniquely different about the Union City Farmers Market in California that makes…
Upcoming Astig Vegan Food Demos
Who doesn’t love food festivals? You eat all kinds of delicious food, listen to live music, shop one-of-a-kind products, and learn something new from workshops and classes. I’ve always enjoyed going to one especially if the event is all-vegan. I still couldn’t believe though, that from being a festival spectator, I am getting invitations to…
Astig Vegan Resource List
A few of my friends have recently told me they’re thinking of going plant-based (I heard angels singing hallelujah in the background). My friends said they don’t know where to start so they would like to find out what I buy at stores and order at restaurants (well, well, I thought you’d never ask!). While I don’t like to self-promote, I don’t shy…
Bay Area Vegan Potluck 2016
Once a year, my friends and I would throw a vegan potluck for family, friends, and anyone who wants to celebrate vegan food in the Bay Area. We call this potluck “Bay Area Vegan Potluck”, usually held at Temescal Regional Park in Oakland. We’re on our third year this year and it attracted close to 100…
Minatamis na Saging (Sweetened Saba Bananas)
You can find banana trees almost everywhere in the Philippines. Most often than not, you’ll see them on the streets, backyards, commercial spaces, and of course at banana farms and plantations. Banana trees in the Philippines are what lemon trees are in California. I guess that’s why the Philippines is one of the leading global exporters of…
3-Ingredient Mango Coconut Popsicles
“It’s super creamy like ice cream, I like it!”, my nephew beamed with excitement after taking a bite of the vegan mango coconut popsicles that I made for him and his brother. Lately, I’ve been spending more time with my nephews. I see them more now because they’re on a summer break from school. And because they…
Vegan Calamari (Astig 2.0)
I thought vegan Calamari would be perfect to eat at a game night – the NBA Finals Game 7 to be exact. I was ready with my ingredients and ready to make vegan Calamari for my family. But time flew by especially because the game was on the same day as Father’s Day and we took our dad…
