we're not on the international food map, and sometimes it's not hard to see why. our food is taken from a hodgepodge of cultures (then again, aren't a lot of asian cuisines like that too?), and just like our different dialects, they vary from place to place and can't be classified under one name. another opinion is that it's because pinoys don't

I've been lusting after that book ever since I saw it in the library. I borrowed it and kept it with me as long as I could, but never got the chance to try any of the recipes. But it was so beautiful and full of stories which made memories of my childhood trips to Pampanga and the old ladies who helped my lola cook everytime we had a big party.

why don't you just go and buy the book? :)

aw how come so many people have memories like that but not me? i didn't learn any of my grandma's recipes, although this christmas i started experimenting with leche flan hoping i could make one as good as hers. :) (incidentally, she's from bataan but she spent her final years in pampanga)
