Kaiser Permanente's Physician Ambassadors, Dr. Rochelle Tinitigan and Dr. Michelle Tinitigan, will lead our “Talk with a Doc” physician volunteers so attendees can ask general health-related questions.

Cookbook Authors Panel by Clang Garcia, Nina Ponseca, Amboy, and Roline Casper.

Nina Ponseca, author of I Am A Filipino and This is How We Cook

2019 James Beard Award Finalist. Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by The New Yorker, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, New York Times Book Review, Houston Chronicle, Food52, PopSugar, and more

Amboy, author of Amboy: Recipes from the Filipino American Dream

Roline Casper, author of The Easy Filipino Cookbook

These tasty and traditional Filipino recipes are also simple enough for any home cook and so delicious you'll feel proud to share with everyone. Kain tayo—let's eat!

Clang Garcia, author of Philippine Food Holidays

Philippine Food Holidays is a compendium of guided itineraries interconnecting the destinations: from a culinary road trip around Luzon, a food island hopping in the Visayas, to diving into the cuisines and cultures of Mindanao. Indulge in bites of legacy dishes-balanced with cultural and historical explorations—and approximate distance and travel time from one point to another.

Featuring Paola Araneta and Ballast Coffee:

“Paolo Araneta wants you to try Barako. Araneta opened Ballast Coffee in 2018 to brew coffee with the excelsa beans of his native Philippines, drinks that are characteristically bold and strong, or Barako (which also means wild boar in Tagalog). A welcome alternative to the corporate coffee brands that occupy the east end of West Portal, Ballast is a stylish and comfortable cafe constantly buzzing with a mix of neighborhood regulars and students hopping off Muni for a jolt of caffeine and laptop wifi. The walls are lined with an ever-changing selection of drawings and paintings: a recent show features work from Waldorf High School students, just down the street. In addition to coffee drinks, the cafe sells mochi muffins from Third Culture Bakery in Oakland and a host of other food options. Ballast plans to extend its hours into the evening, Monday through Saturday, until 9 pm, to offer beers from Bare Bottle and eventually wine by the glass. A Barako stout is also in the works.” - Edible San Francisco

“Sweet Pipers is best known for its buko ube pies ($26) — a hit dessert that Rowena Ortega introduced in 2020. After hearing these pies were trendy in the Philippines, she wanted to make her version. She believes she’s the first person to bring the hybrid treat to the Bay Area, she said.” - SF Chronicle
