Manila Spoon’s Top 30 Recipes of 2023
HAPPY NEW YEAR dear readers! I hope you all enjoyed the recipes we have shared in 2023. Here’s a recap of our TOP 30 Recipes of 2023. We all know how 2023 has been quite a challenge for many of us so much so that many of us want to say goodbye to it as fast as we can. That is perfectly understandable.
But, by God’s grace, we have survived the most difficult year (perhaps for some of us). While I don’t necessarily dwell on the past, this time – just briefly – I would for a good reason. I want to remember the good times that still happened in 2023.
Despite all the many crazy things that went on, we still managed to continue blogging, develop some recipes, earn a bit of money and yes, we stayed alive! I am quite thankful for this. I wish to thank you all as well for kindly supporting us through this year and beyond. Let’s pray and hope for a better year in 2024!
In the meantime, I hope you all enjoyed the recipes we shared in 2023. Here’s a recap of our TOP 30 RECIPES for 2023.

I would love to see more Filipino recipes. I spent much time there in the early 1970’s.I loved the people and the food. The folks were very gracious, friendly and happy. And I also fell in love with the food. I got along quite well with the everyday people to the extent that I was often invited to their humble homes for dinner and family get togethers. Nothing is better than food from momma & grandmother.
So glad to know that! If you want to see the full collection of Filipino recipes, please go to our recipe index and look for the category for Filipino recipes. All Filipino recipes are located there. Thank you for stopping by.
