A Filipino Kitchen: Traditional Recipes With an Island Twist

It is also influenced by his travels to the Philippines, which taught him much about the roots of the foods he grew up with. Chef Adam's easy-to-follow recipes show the diverse richness of colors, tastes and flavors that define Filipino cooking. They will appeal to those who already cook Filipino food, and serve as a great introduction to the cuisine for non-Filipinos who are curious or want to learn more.
