<p>Welcome back to Lunch Therapy! Today's patient, Abi Balingit, is the creator of the blog <a href="https://theduskykitchen.com/">The Dusky Kitchen</a> and the author of the brand new, Filipino-American dessert cookbook, <a href="https://theduskykitchen.com/mayumu/">Mayumu</a>. In today's session, we talk all about growing up in California, her parents' Filipino background, the food that they cooked and how she took a lot of it for granted. We also cover banana ketchup, Capri Sun, making food for charity, working a non-food job, cooking with her boyfriend, and America's rising interest in Filipino cuisine. </p>
