The cookbook is a good idea. Good (nicelooking) filipino cookbooks are few and far between. the problem of course is pricing. I’ll tell you your market though: aside from the local upper and middleclass foodies, you’ve got 8 million overseas Filipinos with cash, just like the posters on this blog. And with the gastronomically articulate Chris as your recipe namer, i reckon you’ve got a winner.

Lani et al, I’m just worried I’ll write it then only 50 copies will be sold and I lose my hat with the development and printing costs! Heehee.

Haha. That would be great. But don’t say IF, a Market Manila cookbook is inevitable with all the recipes you churn out regularly. ;)

The presentation makes the humble tuyo look stunning. And when dieting, it helps to feed your eyes as well as your smell and taste. I think that’s why I eat lots of japanese food when I’m trying to lose weight.

Sounds like a cookbook is in the works….

Tuyo and its equivalent must be the single most often cause of ethnic applicants being black-balled by coop boards here. In the carelessness of youth we just went ahead and cook them whenever the craving took hold oblivious of the barbed looks the neighbours fling at us whenever the thick smell flooded the hallways. When you visit friends, the smell greets you like a fanfare as soon as the elevator doors part. I soon learned to press the button for the floor directly above or below where I am actually going just to avoid the unspoken disgust that was sure to greet me.

Heeheehee, I love it Chris. I should get you to name all of my recipes if I ever write a cookbook… and Lori of Dessertcomesfirst to photograph it…
