What Readers Are Saying

Great Gift

Got this to gift to my niece for her bday. She loved it and her mom said it's a great book of all the foods we have grown up with. Glad to share it with our next generation to start learning about. Wish I had it growing up too!

I felt so seen

There was really special about turning page after page and recognizing each dish brought such comfort to my heart. And that these Filipino foods were being celebrated instead of made to feel so foreign. I am so happy that this book exists.

A read for ANYONE!

I got a chance to grab this book and have so much appreciation for how much it caters to all crowds. I’m someone who loves learning how to make new dishes so this was already up my alley. The colorful illustrations, the history on specific food items and dishes, and detailed instructions took it a step up 👏🏾 More than just a cook book

Cute book, just sad it does not recognize some of our food from older generations that were more influenced by the 500+ years of Spanish (from Spain) ruling the islands. I would still buy it again and share with family and friends of newer generations :)

This book is so cute, informational, and wholesome. I loved learning more about my family’s culture, getting new ideas for dishes, and getting familiar with what certain foods are. I read through in one sitting! Highly highly recommend.
