Join us on December 14 for a special holiday dessert edition to Balay (Home) Cooking! Chef Mariah of Taloa’s Bakery will be showing us how to bake Taro Cheesecake Bars.
In collaboration with our non-profit partner SOMCAN, Balay (Home) Cooking showcases a new chef every month to feature a healthy filipino dish you can recreate at home. All classes will be streamed live from our Balay Streaming Hub.
While this dish is plant-based, this is not a plant-based cooking series. We are inclusive to all types of diet.
Register to join our FREE cooking workshop on December 14 at 6:00pm PST / 9:00 EST!
