Traditional Filipino Cooking!

For anyone who wants authentic Filipino cooking, I HIGHLY recommend this book! This is the cookbook that my mom used when she first came to the United States from the Philippines, and naturally, I love my mother's food. When I visited the Philippines last summer, I was very excited that the recipes didn't "neutralize" the flavor - everything is just how I've always known! Now that I'm older and living in my own place, I wanted a good Filipino cookbook so I could cook food that reminded me of home. What other book than the one my mom has used for the past 25+ years? My only critique would be that some of the recipes call for MSG, but that can simply be taken out or substituted with salt or patis (fish sauce). Other than that, the layout is simple, well organized, and easy to follow.

This is the only Filipino cookbook you will need...

I have owned this cookbook for over 16 years now (I bought mine in the Philippines), and this has, by far, the easiest and great tasting Filipino recipes. I am from the Philippines and the recipes here are very authentic. The best part about this cookbook is that the ingredients are adapted for the United States. You can easily find all the ingredients. So if you are ever interested in trying out Filipino cuisine, this is the book for you.

Delicious

I bought this book when I was visiting the Philippines and tried a few recipes upon my return for my friends. The recipes are easy to follow and contains a list of substitutes for those who don't have a Filipino grocery store nearby. I'm buying another copy for my sister so she can cook the food we both grew up on.
