Oxtail kare-kare
A special occasion dish in the Philippines, kare-kare is a stew of meat and vegetables in a peanut-based sauce. Traditionally, beef offal (organ meat) is the meat of choice. A medley of tripe, intestines, tail, face… We like oxtail.

Spaghetti and meatballs
An Italian-American dish, spaghetti and meatballs is comfort food for generations. I’ve cooked it so many times but I have to admit that it’s only recently that I found the real secret to the best meatballs for this dish. Lighter and bouncier meatballs. Not overbearingly dense. That’s how I like them.
