Hey! My name is Malaka. Welcome to my blog!
The Grand International is a quirky collection of authentic Filipino and Egyptian recipes that I’ve tried, tested and adapted (ever so slightly) for the health-conscious American palette.
Growing up in a food-obsessed Filipino-American home and spending my summers in Cairo, I’ve developed a taste for both dinuguan and torshi. I love cooking both cuisines, so I’ve decided to share my culinary adventures for everyone to try.
I also make customized cell phone charms and I run a local food zine, so be sure to give those a look-see.
