To all my fellow Filipino’s and Filipina’s that are away from the Philippines and craving for their favorite Filipino dish, my name is Robert Colinares. I’m 35 years of age.

I am a Filipino American, married to a beautiful American woman, and a father of two wonderful boys. I also happen to be in charge of the kitchen for the reason being I like cooking way more than my wife and sadly to say, it also shows in my middle section.  I was born in Antipolo Rizal.

I then moved to Quezon City where I grew up before coming to the U.S. in 1992. I’ve been living here ever since. I know how it feels when it comes to craving for the food that you grew up with and how much you miss it.

There are still ways of being able to indulge yourself on some of our native tastes. We can share recipes, cooking methods, and where to get those authentic Filipino ingredients or what’s the best substitute for it.

Living here in the Midwest can be quite challenging when looking for certain Filipino ingredients, but luckily we have an International Grocery Store that sells Filipino food and other Asian food supplies which allows me to have access to some of our native ingredients.

So, let’s get cooking and enjoy the dishes we all love and miss so badly.

Magluto na po tayo!

Sincerely Yours,

Robert Colinares — Missouri, USA

Below are several pictures of our kitchen. My wife picked the design. I just had to make it happen for her. It’s not the best kitchen but we put a lot of work in it. I guess that’s why we’re sort of proud of it.

This is my oldest Trevor James, trying to help dad cook.
