I’m not the one to go to a party alone without knowing anyone but the host. Unlike my husband who can always work a room, I get very conscious and worse, awkward. When I was a kid, I can comfortably sit in one corner for hours without uttering a word. A timeout would be a…
Our Vegan Honeymoon in Paris
For a while now, I’ve long admired the city of Paris and its culture. I love how it celebrates, reveres, and nurtures art and artists. There’s also something about the French people’s passion for food that inspires me so much. I love that they’ve invented the croissant, baguette, macaron, and many more. And not just…
Our Vegan Wedding
Back in July, I married my true love at an all-vegan wedding in San Francisco. It came out better than we had hoped for, much to my relief. Everyone raved about the food, enjoyed the live music, even cried tears of joy. When Chris and I got engaged we talked about having an all-vegan wedding….
Top 3 Tips on Going and Staying Vegan
Some people tell me that they or someone they know have tried going vegan but would always feel hungry or weak so they went back to eating meat. They were always miserable so eventually they gave up going vegan. But there’s a reason why some people, including me, have successfully transitioned to going vegan and…

April and May are big months for Astig Vegan. I just recently held a cooking demo yesterday for Earth Day Celebration in San Francisco (pictured above) and I have four more lined up in the coming weeks. Each event is unique with its own audience and community. Public speaking doesn’t get old or easy for me. It’s…
Vegan Bibingka Espesyal Recipe + Giveaway
In case you couldn’t tell from the video I’m about to show you, I was what millenials call, “fangirling”. Yesterday, I was able to talk and cook vegan Filipino food with my idol, vegan pioneer, Miyoko Schinner at Miyoko’s Kitchen. For me, it was like baking with the vegan Julia Childs – live! Together, we baked a special…
Astig Vegan on Miyoko’s Kitchen Facebook Live
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…
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…
