From the introduction: “This cookbook, Filipino Cuisine is designed as a partner in the kitchen. It is a collection of favorite recipes not necessarily of Filipino origin, but mixed with those from other lands, in other words a blend of local and foreign cookery.

The recipes are arranged thus: soups, beef, pork, chicken, fish and seafoods, vegetables and desserts for daily cooking or celebrations: birthdays, reunions, and other festivities.

Soups are listed ahead of other dishes because soups are usually eaten at the beginning of a meal.

Soup is a liquid food with a meat, fish, or vegetable stock as a base to prepare the stomach for the next heavy food to make the digestive system function smoothly.

Meat (beef, pork, and chicken) dishes are listed next because of its popularity among chefs and gourmets.

Followed by fish and seafoods, vegetables and desserts as these foods contain vitamins and minerals needed by the body to go, grow, and glow. 

Aside from how this book is arranged, we included the favorite palatable dishes and dishes from different regions for you to enjoy.

The recipes are for every meal whether it is Monday-lunch or Sunday dinner or in-betweens. Some are ideal for socials, others are suited to backyard barbecues. There are easy-to-prepare recipes for busy homemakers and there are those that require longer, slow cooking for their indescribable flavor, which means you're sure to find the recipes for any meal.

Hopefully, you will learn the techniques in cooking as you try these recipes in your kitchen.“
