5.0 out of 5 stars The Food of the Philippines, May 15, 2001

By	Arlene Steenkolk (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews

This book help me a lot and it's very encouraging to see a picture of what you'll be cooking so you know how it would look like. It has a substitute ingredients too, if you can't find some oriental ingredients. I recommend this to people who love to cook Asian foods. The best so far with the Filipino recipe books that I've used.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coffee Table Cookbook, January 19, 2005

By	Zaba9901 (Bossier City, LA) - See all my reviews

This book has great food photography, but as another reviewer stated it is mostly a "coffee table" book. My wife is a Filipina, and she says that Alejandro has taken most of his recipes from his older books and "recycled" them into this one. If you want "hands-on" Philippine recipes, this may not be what you are looking for. It is a great book if you only collect cookbooks but don't use them much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply delicious, January 10, 2003

By	"hpatamazon" - See all my reviews

A very good book that not only provides a history on Philippine cuisine, but a surprisingly comprehensive collection of favorite Filipino dishes that is simple to follow.

If you are looking for a book about Filipino dishes, you won't go wrong with this one.
