5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD for cooking Filipino Food, June 5, 2010

This review is from: Best of Filipino Food Vol. 1 - Cooking DVD (DVD)

I found the "Best of Filipino Food Vol. 1" was an excellent introduction to cooking Filipino Food. It reminded me of my favorite Filipino dishes that my Mother, Father, aunts and uncles cooked during my childhood.

Unfortunately, the DVD did not include a recipe booklet. So I had to pause the video to write down the ingredients list then write down the cooking instructions as I watched the video, but the resulting dishes always turned out great.

I'm really hoping there is a "Best of Filipino Food Vol. 2" coming out soon!

As a first generation Filipina-American, this is a wonderful dvd. This dvd makes you feel like you are cooking with your Lola/Tita (Grandmother or Aunt). Cookbooks are good but it is even better to actually see the dishes being prepared. I anxiously await the next volume!
