"A sweet baking book of fantastically imaginative remixed Filipino American dessert recipes, plus stories of the Filipino American experience by baker-activist, Abi Balingit. When the pandemic started her lonely work-from-home life in 2020, Abi channeledall her energy into the one thing that brought her joy: baking. She started to produce Pasalubong boxes filled with novel treats that blended the Filipino and Asian flavors Abi grew up with and her favorite Western style baked goods, each time selling outwithin hours and donating the proceeds to support her community in need. Now, Abi shares these cult-favorite desserts with Mayumu (which means 'sweet' in one of the 8 major languages in Philippines), an incredibly fresh baking book of 75 recipes for sweet treats, organized in chapters tied to where she discovered these flavors growing up as child of immigrants in a cultural melting pot, from the Philippines, to all around California, to her now home, Brooklyn, NY. And she bakes all of these in her tiny,dimly lit, urban kitchen, meaning anyone can do it too"-- Provided by publisher.
