 Great authentic Filipino cookbook April 7, 2008
Great book! I am Filipino and I must say the most of these dishes are almost the exact same as my mom's!!! Of course no one makes the same dish twice...everyone's got their own take on broc/chs casserole and I bet a million different spagetti sauces too but if you want something authentic that comes from the Phillipines then this book is for you. Easy to follow recipes and a glossary for the ingredients you never heard of. :):)
I LOVE it!!! Any my co-workers now know what REAL sweet and sour pork is and not that pink crap from the Chinese restaurant! :):)

This book seems to be like the holy grail of Philippine menu items.

I don't pretend to be an expert cook, but I do have a lot of fun in the kitchen, especially with my teenage daughters. I do believe that they find me a source of entertainment with my recipes right from this cookbook. We turned out some great dishes, e.g., Lumpia Shanghai, Philippine Fred Rice, Rellenong Manok, Paksiw Na Bangus, Maruya, Pianono, etc. My son likes to kick back and watch the interaction, but then he is the first in line to grab the finished product. I liked this cookbook and found it to be helpful, easy to use, and covering a large range of Filipino food. Well done!

I am grateful that this book is not very heavy, as I found myself carrying it around in my backpack all day yesterday. Other than that, I'm not exactly thrilled with this book. The recipes are indeed oversimplified and generally vague, and leave my wife (who grew up in a Filipino household) and I muttering, "Wait, that can't be right...."

After buying this book and looking through the recipes, it seems to me that this book needs to be updated and revised. It could be a wonderful cookbook if the recipes were more detailed and the directions more clear. It's great in that it has many recipes.
