When Grandfather Primo Baldoz migrated to the
United States from the Philippines, he settled in
the fertile Yakima Valley. Here he and his family
established a family farm on which they harvested
quality fresh fruit and produce. This was the start
of a large and diverse family passion for growing
and cooking healthy and delicious ethnic foods.
Prescilla and Torri grew up here, spending their
summers working on the family farm and learning
the culinary secrets passed down from one generation
to the next.
Grandfather’s dishes had an Asian flair. Prescilla’s
mother, a second generation Mexican American,
brought her own fiesta of flavors. Family gatherings

As Prescilla grew older she fell in love with the city
of Seattle. She and Torri would spend many of their
summers working at Anthony's, an Italian fresh
produce market and deli. Torri found a passion
for world travel and would bring back global culinary
secrets. No matter what direction their lives took
them, the family, bound by their passion for good
food and the fun of cooking it, would gather for
exuberant holiday feasts. Together Prescilla and
Torri have developed a style that combines their
old family traditions with an infusion of new flavors.
Friends constantly ask them for their cooking
secrets. Now Prescilla and Torri are excited to
share their experience and family tradition with you.
