Selected as a semifinalist in the 2007 IACP Cookbook Awards

In The Filipino-American Kitchen, Chicago-based chef and teacher Jennifer Aranas introduces the exotic flavors of her ancestral Filipino place of birth, taking readers on a gastronomic tour — from sweet and spicy to smoky and tangy — whilst transforming delicious native recipes into easy-to-make meals.

Even supposing you’re an experienced Filipino cook, you are going to discover new favorites among this collection of over 100 recipes, which includes the whole lot from appetizers to desserts. The recipes combine traditional Filipino cooking with New World variations, reflecting the writer’s Filipino-American roots. She offers innovative interpretations of native recipes such as Duck Adobo, Green Papaya and Jicama Salad, Salmon Kilaw, Lamb Casoy, and Ambrosia Shortcake, alongside traditional favorites such as Crispy Lumpia Egg Rolls, Hearty Paella, Pancit Noodles and Sweet Halo-Halo Sundaes.

The “Basics” chapter introduces the building blocks of Filipino cuisine, showing you step by step how to create authentic Filipino food. A detailed buying guide leads you through the bustling Asian market, demystifying the flavor essentials — such as coconut, palm vinegar, shrimp paste and calamansi lime — that set the food of the Philippines aside from its Asian neighbors.

With this Filipino cookbook at your side, you’ll be able to share these mouthwatering Filipino dishes with your family and friends.
