Brief Description

I want to share my love of Filipino food and cooking with other Mudders! I hope for participants to get a taste of Filipino cuisine as well as some experience, so they can make Pinoy food on their own. This will be a series of 3 small collaborative cooking workshops where we follow my family recipes to make sinigang (a sour pork soup), bistek (marinated fried beef and onions), and bibingka (savory/sweet baked rice dessert), which we then eat.

Any Prerequisite Skills or Knowledge Needed?

It would be helpful if participants had some basic cooking or baking skills (cut vegetables, measure ingredients, etc.) but not at all necessary. All these recipes are pretty beginner-friendly, so all you really need is to be open to learn and ready to eat!

Time Footprint

My current plan is 3-4 hours (including time to eat and clean up) in the early afternoon on 3 separate days (tentatively Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday), but this is still pretty flexible based on participant availability. Each dish's workshop needs consistent participation, and while I had intended all three to go together, participants could also just go to one or two if desired.

Number of Participants

Per workshop:
Minimum: 2
Ideal: 4-6
Maximum: 10

Dietary Constraints
