Family recipes are passed down for generations, evolving over time, until they reach delicious perfection. In her debut cookbook, chef Angela Dimayuga shared her passion for incredible food in new cookbook Filipinx: Heritage Recipes From the Diaspora. Sharing her fresh spin on family recipes and classic dishes, Angela joined us today - check out her recipes below!

 

Rice coffee burnt grain tea

This Filipino drink uses roasted rice for a deliciously flavourful tea. It's a great coffee substitute that won't give you all of those caffeine jitters.

 

Tito Elpie’s tortang talong

This Filipino dish can be easily converted for vegans and vegetarians - just swap out the fish sauce for a vegan version. Creamy eggplant and creamy eggs are the star of this classic family recipe.

 

Bay leaf spa rice

Filipino bay leaf spa rice with coarsely chopped dill and served in adorable soy-cured egg yolks and eggshells.

 

Lumpia shanghai

A party pleaser packed with ground beef, pork and lots of fresh veggies. Served it with banana ketchup for a flavour boost!
