As Filipinos, we are passionate about a lot of things, and one of them is food. Our food culture is influenced by various local ethnic and foreign (Chinese, Spanish, American) groups, and that is why our cuisines are unique and diverse.

Remember those times when you sat impatiently at dinner waiting for your lola to bring out her specialty soup? Both nourishing and heartwarming – that’s what food does to us. Let’s recreate these moments with these five popular Filipino soup recipes and pass them down the next generation.

Having your kids help out in the kitchen is not only a fun thing to do, it also gives you quality bonding time and a chance to instill certain life skills such as independence, alertness, and patience.

When your baby is about six to eight months old, it is recommended to start introducing soft, smooth food into his/her diet. To ensure that your baby adapts smoothly, try one type of food at a time with an interval of three days.
