Philippines! This delightful children's book follows the life of

bananas-- all now staples on Filipino tables Transforming

disease-preventing desserts Organizing rural-improvement clubs,
inventing the palayok or clay oven and developing delicious recipes

Cook delicious and authentic homemade dishes with this easy-to-use
Filipino cookbook. Filipino food is one of the least well-known of
all Southeast Asian cuisines. Strongly influenced by the historical
presence of the Spaniards, Chinese and Americans, it lacks the
singular national identity that characterizes the food of other
nations. Yet it is precisely that indefinable quality, this veil of
mystery surrounding it, that makes Filipino food such an
interesting and delicious discovery. Filipino Homestyle Dishes
offers the best of Filipino cuisine--more than 60 classic Filipino
recipes as they are prepared in Filipino homes. From delightful
snacks to delectable seafood, rice and noodle dishes, this
wonderful Filipino cookbook is full of utterly delightful Filipino
fare. Making these classic Filipino dishes has never been easier--a
quick trip to your local supermarket for some basic ingredients is
all you need to enjoy these mouthwatering recipes. Clear recipes,
step-by-step photographs and a glossary of ingredients ensure
fantastic results every time! Authentic Filipino recipes include:
Tasty Pork and Shrimp Spring Rolls Braised Vegetables with Fish
Shrimp Rice Noodles Chicken and Pork Adobo Stuffed Beef Roll Iced
Fruit Mix (Halo-Halo) And many more... Many of the dishes are
personal favorites of the author; all have been kitchen tested and
are representative of true Filipino cuisine, in all its diversity,
simplicity and complexity. They are a magical discovery of the food
of a resilient people who, while adopting foreign influences, have
managed to create a cuisine that is truly their own--part Western,
part Asian, and uniquely Filipino.
