Abi Balingit Of The Dusky Kitchen On Fashion, Flair, And Filipino Desserts

Hosted by Kerry Diamond Produced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu Edited by Jenna Sadhu Recorded at CityVox Studios Music by Tralala, “All Fired Up” As one of the most stylish New Yorkers around, Abi Balingit manages to bring flair and creativity to everything she does, even her baked goods. As the talent behind The Dusky Kitchen blog and IG account, she’s known for her unique twist on Filipino treats, and now, those recipes and the stories behind them can be found in her debut cookbook, "Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed." Abi joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about growing up in a tight-knit Filipino family, why she never thought she’d have a cookbook, her teenage crush on the Food Network, and the pasalubong boxes she creates to raise funds for causes close to her heart.
