7000 Islands: Cherished Recipes and Stories from the Philippines

A beautiful, comprehensive, and evocative cookbook on a relatively undiscovered cuisine. Despite the Philippines` location right in the middle of Southeast Asia, most people know very little about the country and even less about the cuisine. For Filipinos, food is more than a pleasurable pursuit; it is the cultural language. It can be seen through the prism of its unique and colorful history, with influences from Malaysia, Spain, China, Mexico, and the US adding to the cuisine`s rich texture. Divided into thirteen chapters–Dipping sauces; Breakfast; Soups; Everyday food; Seafood; Party food; Barbecue food; Rice and noodles; Vegetables and salads; Bar and finger food; Snacks; Desserts; and Drinks–7000 Islands is a beautifully illustrated guide to Filipino food and an insight into the culture and history of the Philippines.
