Robstar, do you have the tiny paperback book “Recipes of the Philippines” by Enriqueta David-Perez? It isn’t very well written and it assumes you know what you are cooking, but it covers all the comfort foods and older recipes that you may be looking for. I find the instructions lacking but if you are a decent cook, you will figure them out. If you are based in the U.S., Memories of Philippine Kitchens by the folks who own Cendrillon is worth looking at. Actually, I did a review of that book, its in my archives… Grace, I haven’t tried to cook from that book yet…

About the Cracking Coconut, I hope you get to post the result of your cooking based on this book. Thanks.

MM,
Can you recommend a good filipino cookbook? more on the traditional dishes rather than modern.
I have the philippine cookbook by Reynaldo Alejandro.But other than that, am quite limited in my choices.
thanks.
