Cooking with Fiel.Ings: 30 Recipes by Alfie for a Happy and Healthy Body

By Alfie Fiel Cariño

In 2015, a year after Fiel moved to Hong Kong to work, he started preparing his own food for himself. It wasn’t that easy especially for someone like him who grew up not participating in the kitchen. As a starter, he would spend time watching food videos, reading recipes, and cooking in his kitchen but trying to come up with his own ideas and being ambitious. A lot of trials and errors took place, and eventually, cooking became a passion alongside performing.

In three years of cooking, Fiel has compiled over a hundred recipes, and thirty of those are in this book and are inspired by the people who influenced him to be a better version of himself. This book is entitled Cooking with Fielings because he uses cooking as a way to translate all emotions brought to him by his loved ones, friends, and his daily experiences to something delicious and nourishing.

Cooking with Fiel.ings book was also made in the hopes of giving back to the community. The proceeds will be donated to Assumption Development Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps the children break the cycle of poverty through education.

We encourage you to be a blessing to others.

BOOK FOR A CAUSE

I always believe that we make our lives worth living if we always find a way to engage ourselves in the art of sharing, giving and lifting others. This is why Cooking with Fiel.ings’ cookbook was made in the hopes of helping a foundation called Assumption Development Foundation.

What is ADF about?

Its mission is to help children in need, to help break the cycle of poverty through education.

The foundation performs 2 invaluable services for the students:

First, the foundation gives financial support for the education of the children.

Second, it opens the minds of the students to believe that they can overcome poverty and that they can become more than they think they can be.

The foundation is unique because it goes beyond the financial aspect of scholarship. It addresses the mindset of hopelessness. This is achieved by the following initiatives:

• Monthly seminars for all the High School and College Students. The topics vary from study habits to confidence, excellence, integrity, responsibility, service, compassion, etc.

• Summer Enhancement Program where High School and Elementary Students attend advanced classes in Math, English and Science

• Monitoring of grades every quarter for High School and every semester for College.

• General Counseling and career counseling

• Providing facilities such as a library, recreational center, and computers

College scholarship is given to deserving High School graduates. Limited funds prevent them from sending more students to college.

This foundation is really close to my heart; it helped me in my youth, especially during my college days when my father, the only provider of the family died. Their support gave way for me to finish my studies. Not only did they help me financially but they helped me build my character. This is why I’d like to give back to the foundation so they can continue supporting the children in their education.

From the very bottom of my heart that is filled with gratitude, Thank YOU so much!

May God Bless You all for purchasing this book as your efforts will truly make a difference in the lives of these children.
