Photos would be nice

looks like what I was looking for to replicate my Navy experience of Filipino food..haven’t tried anything yet, but looks pretty comprehensive compared to other book availability

hmmmmmmm!

Great book and very interesting...but I was expecting and wanted more. We live a visual culture..the lack of colour photos was what let it down. Worth a read! Ian http://www.bragazzis.com

Each classic dish is accompanied by a small history

There are surprisingly few cookbooks covering Filipino food on the market and new titles are few and far between, which would make the appearance of this guide an unusual event in and of itself - but its attention to recipes gathered during the author's travels to the Philippines makes Fine Filipino Food exceptional even in its genre. Each classic dish is accompanied by a small history of its origins, plus a variety of variations on the theme. Thus you have classics such as Adobo which go beyond the usual Chicken Adobo to include such dishes as Cinnamon-Garlic Beef Adobo and Lumpias which include Pork and Shrimp with Lemongrass and Garlic Shrimp and Bamboo Egg Rolls. Dishes are easy to make too - no color photos, but this doesn't need them.
