“When you cook, make love an ingredient.” These were exactly the words my mom uttered when she told me to cook food with passion and affection especially that I have a family of my own now. She believes that through this, one can unconditionally express his/her love. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s a traditional belief or my mom just wanted to be radical that time and I just have no alternative choices but to listen to her preaching. Seriously, I’m not a food enthusiast but I do love eating and you can tell it by the way my body looks. During this scenario, my mother was actually cooking “Kare-Kare,” a famous Philippine stew, for lunch. I admit it was delicious, but hey, reminiscing is one of my games. I can merely remember how this dish tasted when I decided to fill my tummy in one of the town’s best Filipino food spots–NANAY BEBENG RESTAURANT.
