About Annie's Dynamite Cuisine
Annie's Dynamite Cuisine is inspired by my Grandmother's cooking. Growing up she made fantastic Filipino dishes for her family, including me. Her dishes are her way of showing love to those around her, it felt right to make a mockup of a potential cookbook filled with all her recipes. You can find images of her handwritten recipes on either side of the page.

She has lived through tougher times than most, surviving World War II when Japan invaded the philippine islands, having a successful life after moving to the US not knowing the English language.
