Cooking with Curiosity
Sept 2024
During our visit to an orphanage in Tagaytay City, Philippines, we collaborated with the youth to create a healthy meal for 18 children. We introduced new flavors and shared basic cooking skills, fostering hands-on learning and teamwork. In the process, we found ourselves learning just as much from their creativity, resilience, and eagerness to try new things. It was inspiring to see some budding chefs emerge, filled with passion and potential.
The older children took charge of setting up the dining room and delighted us by connecting a phone to my Bluetooth speaker for festive music!

Kids working together to get the taste profile of the balsamic vinagarette right. "More honey, please!"
Make your own ice cream sundae was the highlight. The children have never had an ice cream sundae.
