Bibingka With Abi Balingit Of Mayumu
We’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes today—host Jessie Sheehan’s interview with cookbook author and blogger Abi Balingit of The Dusky Kitchen. Abi is known for her flavorful, fun desserts, inspired by her American upbringing and Filipino heritage. She channeled all of this in her debut cookbook, Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed, which won the James Beard Award for Emerging Voice. Abi was also featured on the cover of Cherry Bombe’s Creative Class Issue.
Abi joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her horchata bibingka from the book, including how she came up with her unique twist on the traditional savory Filipino dessert. The duo also chat about Abi’s career path, the pasalubong treat boxes that she started baking in 2020, and how she landed a book deal through social media.
