A Delicious Exploration of Filipino Cuisine

In this cookbook readers can discover many wonderful dishes from egg rolls to cured meat, soups and rice puddings, this selection of savory and sweet dishes will take aspiring chefs through a culinary journey from the Philippines. Each recipe includes a brief historic description to give them context and a list of chefs tips for readers to improve the quality of each recipe. I’m excited to taste the sweet cured fried pork, chicken tinola, cured pan-fried beef and garlic fried rice (Sinangag).

Easy to follow instructions

Welcome to the interesting world of Filipino cuisine. The breakfast dishes are hearty, including an interesting take on porridge (with chocolate—who knew!), a flavourful sausage dish, a variety of rice dishes, and the eggplant omelette—I want to try that one.

The appetizers include a raw fish salad, a Filipino version of spring rolls, along with noodle and meat dishes. A selection of hearty soups and grilled meats follow that seem like meals in themselves.

The mains cover all the meats and fish in a variety of special sauces, herbs and spices to tempt the palate. Snacks and desserts are like nothing I have ever seen – the purple yam yam for example. Colour me intrigued.

All in all, this recipe book will challenge the taste buds and take many who live on a Western diet outside of their comfort zone. I would have liked to see some more vegetarian options, a nutritional guide and the images could have been slightly larger and more enticing, but overall, it is a well-presented cookbook with simple instructions that are easy to follow and perfect for someone wishing to try Filipino cuisine.

This cookbook is an absolute gem for anyone looking to explore or reconnect with Filipino cuisine. As someone who grew up savoring many of these these dishes, I often found it challenging to recreate them because my elders never measured anything. This book has been a game-changer, providing easy-to-follow recipes for all my current & childhood favorites.

The recipes are well-organized and straightforward, making even the most seemingly complicated dishes approachable. It will be a joy to see my kids enjoy the same flavors I did growing up from our own kitchen, and I love that I can now pass down these recipes, keeping our culture alive in their own kitchens.

I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone interested in Filipino food. It's not just a collection of recipes; it's a bridge to our heritage, making it accessible and enjoyable for the next generation.

So many choices

The author includes a variety of Filipino comfort foods that play up the influences of China and other South Asian countries as well as the spicier Spanish influences. While I was hesitant to try several of the dishes, I enjoyed a chicken and sausage stew and a beef and peanut dish. I look forward to trying one with a coconut milk base that sounds delicious. So far, it's lived up to its promises.

Perfect for pork and rice eaters

This cookbook will please chefs and eaters who enjoy pork products and rice. Every recipe is a tribute to Filipinos and how food brings people together.

Unfortunately, my town doesn't carry many of the ingredients. The cookbook could benefit from a translation section. I also think the images could have been a bit larger.

Good collection of Filipinos recipes.

Love the adobo sauce

I've been eager to try the adobo sauce in Filipino cuisine. This book served as a fantastic introduction. It offers a variety of delectable and straightforward recipes to experiment with. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. So far, I’ve made the Squid Adobo. Delicious. My next attempt will be the Chicken Adobo.
