The Pilgrim's Pots and Pans

Everyone is invited!

I wrote about last year’s Duman Festival on this blog. This year, I’m making good on my promise to document the process of bringing it from the field to the table. In fact, I was out taking pictures of the lacatan malutu (red-husked glutinous rice plants) yesterday, with two of Arti Sta. Rita’s writing staff comparing common rice leaves and stalks with those of the lacatan. Most of the documentation will be on the Duman Festival website (online but still under construction).

Come join us. I hope it becomes a food bloggers’ and friends’ meet-up in a provincial setting. It only takes an hour by car from Mandaluyong or an hour and a half if commuting by bus. Sta. Rita is 15 minutes away from the San Fernando exit. Here’s a map to the festival venue.
