What is Project Flavors?

Welcome to the Project Flavors food blog. 

As a child, I was early exposed to recipe books. My mom loves to cook and she had this collection of recipe books. Oftentimes, I see collection of cut-out pages from magazines containing various recipes. As a small kid, I really didn't pay much attention to the recipes. However, I used to ask my mom to cook the food I see from her recipe collection. I think at that time I was more into eating than cooking :).

I really had not discovered my cooking talent until I went to college. It's funny to tell that it's not my mom who really taught me how to cook, or should I say she's really not the one who made me discover my talent. It's actually my grandmother :). Yes, and she just turned 97 two months ago. So how did my grandma helped me discovered my cooking talent? She let me do the cooking while she gives out the instructions. My first delicious dish is the "paksiw na isda" (fish in vinegar sauce). Yup, it all started with that dish, and now I believe I can cook almost any dish my mom could cook :D. And I believe, I'm a better cook than her.....sshhhhhh don't tell her huh. 

As a person who loves to cook, I don't want to have limitations when it comes to flavors. I love learning new things and want to try different recipes from around the world. This is what Project Flavors is all about - continuous learning, exploration of the different flavors and experimenting on various ways of cooking meals. Well, of course the ultimate purpose of this blog is to share my cooking adventures to readers.

Read on, let's start and help me make this project a success.
