A DISH TO TRY BEFORE YOU DIE

“Eating is a necessity but cooking is an art.”

Bonjour! I am one of the bloggers from “NOSTOS”, Saucisse Chaude!

Comment allez-vous? Bonjour! I am one of the bloggers from “NOSTOS”, Saucisse Chaude, your nourriture blogger and junior cuisinier. Before I completely start this blog let me give you a lil’ background of myself. If you’re lil’ confused what is my nationality, I’m a 100% Filipino obviously living here in the Phillipines. I only use French language to give my blog a toast of Paris for I’m a really big fan of almost everything about it. “Le Ville de Amour” or the city of love which is obviously Paris, promotes love and why we should be grateful for this life God gave us. The name Saucisse Chaude is derived from the name of a very popular French dish I really love. I started blogging because of these 3 things. First, I want to share what I know to everyone. Second is that I want to promote Love and the reasons why we should celebrate life… I just want to share goodness and spread kindness to the world. Lastly, I want to inspire those people who always don’t believe in their selves and thinking that they’re worthless even if they’re not.
But in today’s blog will be different, for I created this blog not just to impart a lesson to everyone but also to honor my great Grandmother’s life’s work… her legacy… her recipe. This heirloom dish I’m about to tell you is one of her specialties, one of her best delicacies and it is called “ Granny Taning’s Special Multi-layered Steamed Glutinous Rice Cakes in Purple Yam topped with sweet toasted coconut”. In short, “ Sapin-sapin ni Lola Tasing”.
