Dinoydoy a regional dish in the Philippines popular in the region of Ilocos, the area my mother was born. It's a naturally low-carb dish made of sautéed bitter melon and nearly pureed squash flavoured with fish sauce and pork.
I had some eggplant that needed to get used up, so I set about finding an easy eggplant-focused side dish for my lunch. This Moroccan roast eggplant salad was just the ticket. The eggplant is roasted and cooked to give it a nice delicate texture...

I had a bunch of zucchini and mushrooms that needed to be used up from a recent Costco purchase. Happily, they worked really well together when marinated, roasted and topped with crumbled feta...

I was looking for a side dish to go with some soy marinated eggs I was making, something else that was stewed with an Asian flavour profile. Since I had a daikon radish kicking around, I thought I would try braising it, in similar style to traditional Japanese "oden."

I was in the mood for a warm snack, something similar to chicken nuggets, but easier and with healthy ingredients. I had a block of tofu and thought maybe I could do something similar with that. I created a coating that baked up into a savoury, crispy topping that made this a lovely snack.

Simple garlic fried rice is a staple in a lot of Filipino meals, but in my mind, it is a crucial component of the Filipino breakfast. I won't lie to you. The real deal has a texture that is simply impossible to replicate using cauliflower rice, but it's worth doing...

I wanted another side dish for a Korean-themed dinner I was making, and found a popular braised potato recipe called ‘algamja jorim’ that looked inviting. I figured it would be easy enough to swap out the potatoes for rutabaga to make it low-carb…
My uncle gave me some opo squash from his garden this week, which also goes by the name of “long squash” some of the ones he had grown were longer than I am tall. They suggested cooking it up with sardines, as many Filipinos do.
