Who we are
We are a husband and wife team who love to eat, cook and travel to eat. Our passion for food started early on as young children. We both grew up surrounded by many women who enjoy cooking and nourishing their families. As we grew older, we developed our own curiosity of food and decided to embark on our own journey into learning about different cuisines and cooking methods. Our blog is about sharing recipes that we’ve tried ourselves and have become a family favorite. We also love to share travel tips on where to eat, what to see and where to stay.
I grew up in the Philippines surrounded by many women who wielded a wooden spoon and cooking pan like no other. My mother, grandmother and aunts are all experts in the kitchen with their own respective specialty. I, on the other hand, took a long time to find my footing in the kitchen. Through many trials and errors and hours of googling and pinning recipes, I found my passion for food and cooking. I am by no means an expert cook or well versed in cooking methods and ingredients but I do love learning, experimenting and serving my little family food that is not only nourishing but enjoyable for everyone to eat. Sprinkles and Sauce is my outlet to express my creativity and share with everyday cooks like myself recipes I’ve found to be quick, easy and of course delicious!
Similar to my wife I grew up surrounded by women who cooked and baked real well. Every family gathering included tables filled with traditional Russian and Armenian salads, dips, appetizers, grilled meats, roasts, cakes and sweets. I love the eating more than the cooking bit myself but being married to Sarah has made me more and more curious about the cooking part. These days I have a couple of dishes in my arsenal and as I feel more comfortable in the kitchen, I am gradually adding to my list of go-to dishes. I also love learning about different cuisines, in particular Asian cuisine. Living in Thailand and traveling in Southeast Asia ignited my curiosity and interest even more. Sprinkles and Sauce documents what we love about travelling, not just the food aspect but learning about and from different ones we’ve met in our travels. I am a firm believer that travel not only broadens the mind but the heart as well. The more we learn about each other, the more we appreciate about each and other and the differences fade as the familiarity grows. Food is a great introduction and ice breaker and so our love of food and travel for us go hand in hand.
We appreciate you stopping by and visiting our little blog! Of course as much as we love sharing, we also love to hear from you. We’d love to hear your cooking tips, recipes you love and of course your story as well.
