Memories
of Philippine Kitchens
by Amy Besa and Romy Dorotan
This
book of "stories and recipes from far and near" reflects
years of research about the childhood favorites this couple remembered
from their native land.
They
started the restaurant Cendrillon in New York to recreate the
flavors of their youth and discovered that the essence of Filipino
food has remained secluded in family kitchens and passed down
through generations. From adobo to pancit, lumpia to empanadas,
the cuisine reflects the culture and the people as well as tastes
great. There are hundreds of sumptuous photographs and colorful
stories of food memories and the book is just a joy to read and
look at.
If
you are looking to expand your flavor profiles in the foods you
cook, look his book to inspire you.
