    This is seriously how cooking goes in most rural Filipino households. During fiestas and celebrations, those large woks and long laddles come out and you cook a bunch of different stews and everyone's butchering chickens and pigs, or chopping up veggies and just really coming together. The island nations seem to have that way, very communal and together..

    you pretty much capture the essence of how it is done in Hawaii, as we call back yard style. Hawaiian home cooking. every dish presented in this piece is going to be present at any gathering of this nature. those are the best. great piece.

    Reminds me of my family; half native American half Congolese. Granddad hunting for for food to save money and learning how to grow foods and be crafty when it comes to food. Sardines, canned tuna, caught fish, game, spam, etc were always in the household. And my grandma, uncle, aunt, and cousin used to live on Oahu for years

    OMG he's using really traditional Filipino ingredients! Which part of the Philippines were his parents from? The fern shoots, the turmeric leaves, we use those for cooking! The fern shoots we usually cook as a vegetable and sometimes blanch and make it into a salad. The turmeric leaves we usually use for cooking pork stew and sometimes use it to wrap food we steam or grill.
