Considering the large American-Filipino population and the popularity of other Asian cuisines, it's surprising how little is known about Filipino cuisine. This warm and visually appealing book should change all that. In addition to recipes for essential Filipino dishes like adobo, lumpia, and pancit, there is a lot of culinary and cultural history, including food by region and the Spanish and American influences on the cuisine. So not only will you learn how to put together halo halo, you'll get some background on how the sweet dessert evolved and even find a recipe for some ube (purple yam) ice cream to scoop on top.
