In Your Cupboard Before You Start

Before joining me in my cooking adventure into Filipino cuisine, you need to stock up your cupboard with the following:


Rice (~$20 for 25 lbs), soy sauce ($3 for regular size bottle), salt and pepper ($1 each), bay leaves ($1 per container), garlic powder ($1), olive oil ($5-$10) or vegetable/canola oil (~$5).

Obviously, Filipinos didn’t traditionally cook with olive oil and this oil is more expensive but since this oil is better for your system than the other cooking oils, I believe that the cost is well worth it. You can’t always be cheap when it comes to food because your health in the long run is more important.

Sorry this post was later but I just thought about it.
