“If the culinary enthusiast wants to witness the differences in Philippine regional cuisine, he only has to look at how Filipinos cook their vegetables. There, he will find very clear cut differences on how the various provinces cook their vegetables.

“The difference lies not only on the variety of the local produce used as main ingredients but also on the other ingredients that make up a recipe and the condiments that go with the vegetables dish.

“This little book is a compilation of basic, very easy to prepare vegetable dishes from the different regions of the Philippines. These recipes will enable the beginner to serve with ease Filipino-style vegetables on his table at home. ”

“No Filipino can ever grow up without a love for pancit. Inherited from our Chinese ancestors, this dish symbolizes long life, is almost always present on the table on birthdays, eaten during wakes to ‘lengthen’ lives of loved ones left behind. Pancit is a next staple to rice in the Philippine diet and through the years has risen up from its status as snack to an actual meal item. In my travels all over the Philippines every small town boasts of a certain pancit dish that everybody prepares on ordinary days or special occasions. Though borrowed from our Chinese and Malay ancestors, pancit through the centuries has evolved and has become a truly Filipino dish and staple.”

“In the Philippines, probably the most popular—and effective—way to celebrate and strengthen friendships is by coming together over a round of drinks. And in the Philippines, wherever there is drinking, there is sure to be a plate of pulutan.

“The pulutan, after all, whether it is a plate of peanuts or a sumptuous seafood dish, is as much an essential part of the inuman, as the beer or liquor itself, and deserves some special attention.

“This cookbook offers an assortment of pulutan dishes that are guaranteed to go well with any kind of beer or liquor. There is something here for everyone, from crispy finger foods to fancy meat dishes. For those who love to cook as well as to drink, this little collection of exciting pulutan is sure to please.”

“Inihaw, sinugba, inasal, dinerang, intono or whatever Filipino regional term is used, grilling food over charcoal or fire is one of the most ancient methods of cooking in the Philippines and perhaps, the world. Barbecues and grilled foods are considered very healthy and contain less calories. Despite its simplicity, the flavor of grilled cuisine gets its character from so many factors in preparation such as the grilling medium, the grilling method, marinades, sauces and the side dishes that make inihaw an exciting and healthy facet of Philippine cuisine.

“When we talk of Filipino cuisine we mention favorite recipes such as adobo, sinigang or other titled dishes which revolve around the many cuisines of Luzon. Yet we forget that a great majority of recipes from the south, especially the Visayas and Mindanao, use the charcoal grilling method as their main cooking technique.

“Barbecue, a term adopted from America, will surprise the neophyte in Philippine cuisine because it takes on the skewered Malay form which is sate but its marinades feature a mixture of Chinese, American and Malay influences.”
