Customer Reviews

Lots of pictures, great recipes!

This is a perfect cookbook that beautifully brings out the beauty and delicious flavors of Filipino cuisine. I'm actually happy that it doesn't have all the "exotic" stuff such as dinuguan, goat meat stew, paksiw etc. It's presented in a modern, slightly Americanized way which I think is proper for filipinos and non filipinos alike. I love the pictures! Very beautifully done.

Gastronomic Success

Though the book sensibly substitutes ingredients found in the Philippines for items that are more readily available in local US stores, the compromise in taste is not noticable (if there even is). All in all, it is a short but very helpful book that taught me how to cook a few homestyle dishes that I know, miss and love. If there is any bane to it, it would be that it did not have more recipes tucked away in its small, but informative pages.

what a joy!

Nice size, spring bound, stunning mouth-watering photography and simply worded instructions of many traditional and practical Filipino dishes. The sample presentations elevate the cuisine to gourmet! The book makes cooking Filipino meals a joy, instead of an intimidating task.

Perfect and easy to use!

The Filipino dishes in this cookbook are popular and the recipes are clear to follow. The ingredients are basic. Lastly, the results are not disappointing to the palate. Beautiful photos. Highly recommended!
