About Lauren Escarcha

Description

Sinigang is the heart of Filipino cuisine and her Lola always made it with all her love when growing up. Passed down from her Lola, it was a core memory in her childhood growing up in the States and was a connection to her Ilocas heritage in the Philippines. This dish, specifically, is nostalgic as the warmth and flavor of the soup is an extension of her Lola’s love for her grandchildren. Chicken sinigang was one of the first Filipino dishes she learned from her Lola. She is grateful that she was raised by a Lola whose abundance of love translated to her food, and now she has the ability to gather and fill other people’s stomachs and hearts through sinigang.
