About
What Ayoko ng Baboy is
Filipino food, cooked the way our families cook it, minus the pork. The name is Tagalog for "I don't want pork," and that is the whole idea.
Ayoko ng Baboy is a small, independent recipe site. We take the dishes Filipino home cooks make every week, adobo, sinigang, kaldereta, afritada, and cook them with chicken, beef, or seafood instead of pork. Nothing here uses pork, bacon, ham, lard, or chicharron. When a classic normally leans on pork, we tell you exactly what we swapped and why the dish still tastes like itself.
We write for Filipino home cooks and the wider diaspora who grew up on this food, and for halal, kosher, and pork-avoiding cooks who want the real thing rather than a watered-down version. Fish sauce, bagoong swaps, calamansi, and coconut milk all stay. Only the pig leaves the kitchen.
Every recipe here is cooked before it goes up. We measure the ingredients, time the steps, and note the yield from the actual pot, not a guess. If a swap changes the texture or the cooking time, we say so in the notes. We do not invent nutrition numbers, ratings, or review counts.
The site is free and carries no ads, no sponsorships, and no affiliate links. It is not part of any network and does not send you off to buy anything. It stands on one thing: whether the recipes work when you make them at home. If a step is unclear or a dish flops in your kitchen, tell us and we will fix it.
