About Erin
I’m Erin Raquel. I was born in Bicol, raised in Australia and grew up in a family where food was how we gathered, remembered and looked after each other.
At family parties, while the other kids played, I was usually in the kitchen helping Mum roll lumpia. Honestly, back then I would rather have been playing. Now those are the recipes I want written down.
Nourish On The Fly is where I share Filipino food, family dinners and the dishes I make on repeat. The point is not a perfect kitchen or a new way to eat. It is flavourful food that works in real life and earns a place at your table.
I’m also creating my first Filipino cookbook. It brings together the dishes Mum taught me, the ones piled onto the table at every tita’s gathering and the recipes I learnt for myself as I got older.
I want my three kids to know this food and where it comes from. I also want anyone who grew up eating it—or is only just discovering it—to feel able to cook it.
