About this episode

This episode is from our friends at This Is TASTE. Abi Balingit is the author of Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed, a delightful cookbook full of maximalist personality and transfixing sweets, like the adobo chocolate chip cookie. She’s a singular force in the NYC baking scene, and it’s so fun to have her on the show today to talk about what she’s been up to since publishing her first book, her love of kitsch, and more. This Is TASTE is co-hosted by Aliza Abarbanel and Matt Rodbard. You can subscribe to This Is TASTE at Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
