Bake-along with Abi Balingit, Author of Mayumu

San Mateo County Libraries welcomed Abi Balingit as she discussed her debut cookbook Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed and baked Jumbo Calamansi Poppy Seed Muffins! “I would describe my personal style as vibrant, eclectic, and fun! My bubbly personality and style show up in the diverse range of desserts that I make. It’s a joy to take risks with flavor combinations and punching up the color of many of my bakes. I consider myself a maximalist person and baker.” Abi Balingit is a Filipino American home baker and author based in Brooklyn. When she’s not working full-time at a live music company, she is running a baking blog called The Dusky Kitchen. Her #PASALUBONG treat box series helps to raise money for mutual aid organizations. She has been featured in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Eater, Thrillist, Food52 and more. When the pandemic started her lonely work-from-home life in 2020, Abi Balingit channeled all her energy into the one thing that brought her joy: baking. In her tiny, dimly lit, shared kitchen, she produced hundreds of “pasalubong” (souvenir or homecoming gift) boxes filled with especially creative treats that blended the Filipino treats and Western style baked goods she grew up with. Each time, she’d sell out within hours and donated the proceeds to support her community in need. Now Abi shares some of these cult-favorite desserts with Mayumu (which means “sweet” in Kapampangan, which is one of the dominant languages in Philippines), an incredibly fresh baking book of 75 recipes that span from the never-before-seen, incredibly inventive flavor combinations that Abi dreamed up, to the more familiar, classic Filipino favorites: Adobo Chocolate Chip Cookie Strawberry Shortcake Sapin-Sapin (Rice Cakes) Ube Macapuno Molten Lava Cakes Matcha Pastillas Melon Chicharron Crumble Throughout, essays following Abi’s heritage and self-discovery introduce the flavors and experiences that have shaped her life, from visiting the motherland and her parents’ birthplace in Pampanga, Philippines, to California where she grew up and went to school, to her now home Brooklyn, NY. This beautiful book is a celebration of the Filipino American experience, perfect for home bakers wanting both nostalgic and excitingly new recipes.
