Agate Surrey The New Filipino Kitchen: Stories and Recipes from around the Globe

I was so happy tp received my copies of the Book in the post last Friday. And today,had a chance to browse and start reading through this Book. Have quite a few Filipino Food cookbook collection and this is one of the few books. That once you start reading it, you can’t stop reading through the stories of fellow countrymen. Just like the author said, Filipino food is NOT easy to describe and I had been in that situation before. It’s a nice way of introducing folks about our cuisine thru stories and their recipes. +photos look so delectable That you’d want to try it right away +recipes are easy to follow and it gives you alternative ingredients to use +folks Who are not familiar with Filipino Food can easily follow and make the recipes in this Book Highly recommended and Its really Nice to give-away as gift.

This is both a great read and reference. It has a great collection of recipes. But it goes well beyond that. It’s a wonderful curl-up-in-a-comfy-chair-and-feel book that gives you almost the same warmth and emotions as spending time with family and friends. The pages contain so much generosity as it shares not just recipes but very personal stories.

Well written particulalry suitable for overseas Filipinos looking for a taste of home and more importantly an appreciation for a common Filipino story.

Excellent publication

I gave this as a Christmas gift to my former boss. She absolutely loved the stories entwined within the recipes. She also commented that the recipes are simple enough for anyone to follow. This is more than just a cookbook. It is a wonderful collection of stories behind the recipes highlighting the Filipino heritage.
