TIMPLA Cookbook Club

TIMPLA cookbook club is hosted by ginataan gang, a group of three pinays with a shared love for gardening, storytelling, cooking, and food as resistance. Each gathering celebrates a different cookbook, diving into the diasporic recipes, cultural influences, and the histories they carry.

Our first discussion features Reem Assil’s . Participants are invited to share a dish they’ve cooked from the book. More than just a meal, our table is a space for connection—where food serves as a lens into land, home, and migration.
