It has been 10 days now since my beloved auntie passed away… Many may not know her… but others may, especially if you are into the culinary or history or a Bulakenya… She is known as “the food historian”. She has a unique history-cooking book named “Kasaysayan ng Kaluto ng Bayan”… She researched, conceptualized and prepared the famous “FOOD OF OUR HEROES” and “EVOLUTION OF OUR FOOD” food exhibits, presentations and festivals.

I want to share to everyone the legacy Tita Mila has given me… more that just delicious recipes, more that just great times, more than great wisdom… She taught me real meaning of and passion for our history, culture and nationalism, th real sense and meaning of sharing to others what you have and what you know, real meaning of joy in what you do, real meaning of service to fellowmen, family country and God, and the appreciation for gift of life and love given by the Lord God.
