F&B World Philippines, July 2010 issue, has an article about Purple Yam. Thanks to CJ Juntereal’s writing that captures all our hopes for Filipino food. Thanks to Enderun Colleges for allowing me to do the Ang Sariling Atin Workshop in their campus. Thanks to Nana Ozaeta, editor-in-chief of F&B World for featuring our work on promoting Philippine food as we embark on our latest project, the Purple Yam in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.
Purple Yam is more than a restaurant to us. It has become an extension of our lives whose meaning has become so closely connected to our culinary roots and heritage. As we get older, some truths are clearer to discern: the survival of our society and civilization rests on how much we can save the past. Without the past, the future looks barren devoid of all the wonderful things people have created over time. Without the past there is no continuity.
