Miki GarciaThe Filipino Cookbook: 85 Homestyle Recipes to Delight your Family and Friends

I bought this book to expand my usual repertoire of Filipino dishes. The recipes I have tried have gotten rave reviews especially during potlucks. The only recipe I had a problem with was in making the salted eggs, I still have to try doing it again before i completely give up. But aside from that, all the dishes we tried were tasty and the book even improved some of my old recipes. The pictures were gorgeous and instructions clear and helpful. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is still on the fence whether to buy it or not.

So far this has proven to e a very good version of a Filipino cookbook, converted to American cooking practices and with a selection of excellent and useful recipes therein! If you would like to broaden both your cooking skills base and tempt your palate, this book would be an excellent addition to your library!

There are about 3 recipes in this book that I love and they have become a part of our regular monthly dinner menu, If I liked seafood i think that I would have many more favorites. Pictures are great, easy to understand instructions and the measurements are written for an American audience (meat in pounds instead of Kilos, cups not grams…) Glad I got it.

The quality of the book is fine and it contains several recipes despite the cookbook being a little on the thin side as far as average cookbooks go. I am not sure it suits my needs as it doesn’t contain what I’m looking for. My late mother was from the Philippines and I miss some of the dishes she use to make. For the life of me, I cannot remember how to make them and some of it was not written down. I was looking for siopao and lumpia made with ground beef and carrots. This cookbook contains something similar, but it’s not quite what I was looking for. I also cannot remember what she used for dipping sauce and the measurements/ratio. I think it was vinegar with soy sauce. I was also looking for an avocado drink that she used to make and pour over ice. I think it had a little sugar and milk/coconut milk. Ah well. The search continues. If you like seafood, there are multiple recipes in this book you may like to try. I’m not really a seafood fan, so this book, although decent, just doesn’t suit my taste. That’s ok though. It’s not against the author or publisher. I am confident many people will find this cookbook useful and enjoyable, especially if you like to try new things that you haven’t had before.

This book gives you more than 85 satisfying recipes,and also fantastic photos which make you want to lookat the book over and again.If you have never tried making filipino food at home,I'd recommend you should start making the tasty dippingsauce. It's easy to do and doesn't take a large amountof skill.It really makes you want to rush to the kitchen!!

I don't know how accurate these recipes are. The Filipino food I've had has mostly been made by my mother in law. I can tell you that the most often dishes she makes for my husband were not in the book.As a cultural book I would appreciate more background on the different areas of the Philippines in relation to each other.Since this didn't include adobo, machado, or the lumpia that my husband likes I plan to include this as a give away at the family reunion. Maybe someone else will appreciate it more.

I bought this book because it features some Kapamangan recipes. I know the Kapampangans are well-known in the Philippines for their fine cuisine.I have tried some desert recipes and they were so yummy (especially Leche Flan and yemas my personal favorites) and my friends loved them too. I will update this review once I have tried other recipes in this book. I can't wait to try adobo...The book is glossy shiny good quality print, with mouthwatering photographs!

Tried the recipes and they are easy to follow and delicious
