Larson Lind

For me, the dish brings the strongest memories are of Pochero. I loved it as a child growing up in the Philippines. We moved to the United States when I was 12, but I didn't start cooking until I was an older teenager. My mother asked me if I'd like to learn how to cook anything Filipino and I asked for pochero.

I always loved eating, but that moment, ingrained a love for cooking, a passion I've followed ever since. "Pochero is a Filipino beef stew with origins from Spain.
