The
essence of Filipino food has always remained somewhat secluded in the
family kitchens of Filipino homes, passed down through the generations,
melding native traditions with those of Chinese, Spanish, and American
cuisines. With "Memories of Philippine Kitchens" Amy Besa and Romy
Dorotan, owners and chef at Soho's popular Cendrillon
restaurant, present a fascinating look at Filipino cuisine and culture.
They have spent years tracing the traditions of the food of the
Philippines, and here they share the results of that research.
“Memories of Philippine Kitchens” was recently awarded the prestigious
International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) Jane Grigson
Award for Distinguished Scholarship in the Quality of Research and
Presentation for 2007. The book was featured in the New York Times
Food Section of November 2006 and NPR’s “The Splendid Table” on May
26th.
