Masarap (delicious, tasty, tastes good)
Despite not ever trying the filipino recipes before, I found the instructions quite user friendly and the resultant dish delicious as it was enjoyed by the family. Mind you, I am Filipino and grew up in the Philippines but never did the cooking, only would bake on occasions from the Betty Crocker cookbooks as we had katulongs to do all the household chores.

Title does not fit , should be traditional american foods and some philippine recipes.
I was very excited to order this book, but when it arrived I was very disappointed. Only the first few pages are philippine foods, after that it's 9/10ths full of traditional american foods like baked chicken, spaghetti, calzones, omelettes, oatmeal cookies. Every common cookbook has these basics. Very decieving title. lots of charming stories, but for me, it's all about...

I was very excited to order this book, but when it arrived I was very disappointed. Only the first few pages are philippine foods, after that it's 9/10ths full of traditional american foods like baked chicken, spaghetti, calzones, omelettes, oatmeal cookies. Every common cookbook has these basics. Very decieving title. lots of charming stories, but for me, it's all about the recipes & there were absolutely no photos. NOT at all as I had hoped. I lived on Guam for 4 years and had hoped to recreate some of the wonderful foods I had there. The price is way too high to not have hardly any real philippine recipes. I will be returning this one if I can. I've bought two others, Filipino homestyle dishes by Norma Olizon-Chikiamco, its small, but filled with wonderful recipes and beautiful color photos. Also, Complete Thai Cooking, ABSOLUTELY amazing recipes!
