We just love Foodie Magazine at home. Easy-on-the-eye layout, eyecatching cover, interesting recipes and well-written instructions! It is probably one of the better local food magazines around. Worth every penny so we really watch out for each easy. Reading it is like a book. Very little, if any, page advertisements!

In one of the issues, they featured Pinoy classic recipes such as the caldereta. They even used an old plate design which we have. This got us cooking caldereta (or rather, my dad did)! We have to rummage through our plate collection for exactly the same plate! And since it was really an unplanned meal, we used pork ribs instead! The verdict – it’s what caldereta should be!

Another dish we love is the Pinoy pork barbecue. But that’s another story.

Check out my version of turkey caldereta.

Thanks for reading my blog. I'm a corn breeder who also loves to eat and cook. Most of the recipes in this blog are dishes that I have cooked in my own kitchen. This blog is an off shoot way way back in 2007 when as PhD student, I had a major writer's block for writing my dissertation. So instead I turned into blogging my exploits in the kitchen. I've come long way then. getting my PhD and currently cooking in my third kitchen so far. My dog, named Pasta and I are based in Phitsanulok, Thailand.

What a fun way to recreate a dish – and I love that you have the same plate as the magazine!

How awesome is that — your kaldereta looks just like the picture, even down to the plate! Actually, yours is way better, pork ribs=yummy.

Galing naman! You may want to join Bookmarked Recipes food event for this yummy dish. I forgot if I answered you regarding polunchay? I think you can buy it at Salcedo Market or Market Market (Taguig). The market I go to is quite far from the South

We have a similar set of plates with larger roses As far as I can remember, we had them since I learned to eat by myself. Not sure, but we must have lots of them, or it doesn’t break, because to this day I see it being used. Thank you that my mother believes in using her good things, and it taught us to appreciate.

I have to try that kaldereta

Just returned from Christmas in the Philippines (Makati primarily) and came home armed with Yummy, Foodie and Flavor magazines! They are amazing – I’m going to ask my mother to start stockpiling them for me throughout the year.

This is new to me as I am not very familiar with Filipino dishes. But it sounds really delicious!
