Joy's Kitchen

If you love cooking and you want to learn how to make different food then lets learn together. Even though I came from Philippines I didn't learned how to make Filipino food just because my parent used to own their restaurants and we just served our self. I went back for a visit last last year and had a chance to watched my mother cooked. I asked her about her secrets and she told me that it is about the spices and when she cook she cook them for the children she love.
