Alan Lopez

Hi, I’m Alan. I cook at home in Sydney. I used to direct animation. I work in healthcare now. Hungry Alan is my book: real pots I have cooked, tasted, and packed for work the next day.

Filipino food is the front of the book, because that is my kitchen. The rest is there on purpose. Italian, Indian, American, a weeknight tray, a salad. I want a new cook from any culture to open this and find a dish they already know, written so they can start if they have never made it before.

Good food does not need to be complicated. Honest, satisfying, and shared. If your table is different from mine, you are still welcome.
