I started developing Alma’s Cooking Corner (ACC) in September, 2007. I chose to develop this web-site because of my passion for cooking. Hobby comes in many styles and everyone has a hobby in his life. One of my hobbies is cooking. My love for cooking started since childhood, maybe I inherited it from my father. He is usually the cook in the family. If my Dad would start cooking dinner for us, I would always watch him prepare the ingredients and how to cook the meal. He did not take any formal cooking lessons but he was really gifted when it comes to cooking.

I love being in the kitchen too. It’s more than just cooking. There are the different foods and wines, the tools and gadgets, the creating and experimenting….It is like taking the tool bench out of the basement. If I would buy a house, I wanted to have a huge kitchen so that I could have a bigger place to cook. I love every item in the kitchen, kitchen gadgets, stove, utensils, casseroles, frying pans. Sometimes I spent lots of time going to the mall to look for some new stuff I can use for cooking.

Recipes that I usually cook are all Filipinos. I can also do some Chinese, Italian and North American recipes. I can prepare my own recipes with some secret ingredients. I could experiment a 30-minute recipe that will suit working people like moms. I was alone when I came here in Winnipeg in 2002. It is a good thing I really know how to cook because I can prepare my own meals at home, enjoy every minute of cooking and being able to taste my finished product.

As you glance through my website, you will be able to learn simple cooking recipes, Filipino foods like egg rolls, pancit (fancy noodles), Eggplant Omelet, Kare-kare (beef stew), Lechon (roasted pork) and more. I will show you how to prepare desserts like Coconut with Pandan-flavoured jelly, Fruit Cocktail Salad and Leche Flan (Custard Cake).
