Random Melissa Miranda quote

3 quotes

The thing that I’m most excited about is the sense of pride. There is a sense of pride to be Filipino again, and that has come from food.

Because of the colonization that occurred in the Philippines, we were never given a sense of value. Because of that, we never gave value to our food

It’s not about making space at the table, because we’ve been at the table. Filipinos have been working our butts off for chefs cooking other people’s cuisine. It’s time to cook our food.
