Halloween special
Before the Halloween costume, cook our recipes for kalag-kalag first
Getting your Halloween costume ready? Before you put it on, spend a little time in the kitchen. Halloween isn't really ours: for Filipinos the days around 31 October are Undas, or kalag-kalag in Visayan (from the word for “souls”), All Saints' and All Souls' Day on 1 and 2 November, when families visit the cemetery and remember their dead. Instead of costumes there are candles, family and food: the same sweets and rice dishes their grandparents cooked, to share and to offer the departed. Here are the ones we make.
