Join us for an online interview with Abi Balingit!
We will be going live on Instagram for a fun Q/A with Abi Balingit, the author of MAYUMU: Filipino American Desserts Remixed.
MAYUMU is a sweet baking book of fantastically imaginative remixed Filipino American dessert recipes, plus essays on the Filipino American experience by baker-fundraiser Abi Balingit.
Abi shares some of 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 that span from the never-before-seen, incredibly inventive flavor combinations that Abi dreamed up, to the more familiar, classic Filipino favorites:
Adobo Chocolate Chip Cookie
Strawberry Shortcake Sapin-Sapin (Rice Cakes)
Ube Macapuno Molten Lava Cakes
Matcha Pastillas
Melon Chicharron Crumble
Halo-Halo Baked Alaska
