Cultural Kultivators - Abi Balingit
Manage episode 430538852 series 3478871
In this week’s episode we are honored to welcome Abi Balingit! As the 2024 James Beard Emerging Voice Award Winner, Abi opens up about the success of her first book, Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed.
From her “Hotline Bling It” blogger days to experimenting with recipes in her low-lit New York apartment, Abi shines brightest as a Do-It-Yourself champion. As a self taught baker, she shares the origins behind The Dusky Kitchen blog and the impact her upbringing in a multigenerational Filipino-American household had on her culinary palate.
For creatives struggling with self-sabotaging perfectionism, Abi encourages us to build habit based strategies and to courageously “own your work.” She also gets candid on the transition from hobbyist to winning career-defining awards and the industry’s commodification of art.
Stay tuned for a sneak peek at Abi’s upcoming project, Trinket Dish! To keep up with Abi, you can follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok (@theduskykitchen) where you can explore new recipes like her Calamansi-Fish Sauce Shortbread Cookies!
