The weather in Philly has been interesting, to say the least, but this week we were graced with a warm and sunny day. Coincidentally that delightful weather fell on the day that we welcomed LALO and their vibrant Filipino fare into the COOK kitchen! For our 16 guests this day truly felt like a vacation to the Philippines. LALO was created by the Pelago team, who have put on a series of pop-ups throughout Philly showcasing Filipino cuisine. You can find LALO’s Filipino comfort food at their location in the newly revamped Bourse Food Hall. Read on to get a glimpse of the food and drink from their Filipino feast at COOK, and for a pineapple pickling liquid recipe!

Two weeks into 2019, it’s time to check up on those resolutions.

Jonathan Adams, AKA Johnny Mac, co-owner of Rival Bros. Coffee, showed our guests how to eat clean without sacrificing flavor during his vegan brunch class. William Duffy, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, aims to teach people how a plant-based diet can contribute to the prevention of disease, and lead to a healthier lifestyle. Read on to see the gorgeous food that Johnny created and learn more about Dr. Duffy’s plant-based, whole foods focused initiative, Food As Medicine!
