7000 Islands: A Food Portrait of the Philippines [Newman, Yasmin] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. 7000 Islands: A Food Portrait of the Philippines

Review: Beautiful Recipe Book - This book is truly a "Food Portrait" of the Philippines. The recipes are easy to follow, with interesting facts like why not to stir vinegar, how to use rice wash for a more flavorful broth, and perfectly cooked garlic (things my mother and grandmother spoke of). It also goes a little over history, and it's influences on native dishes. I love how it ties family into it's recipes because family is truly at the core of Filipino culture.The author really makes it an intimate experience because she shares recipes from her own family and personal experiences. Being half Filipino/German, I know almost all of these dishes already, and love to cook them, but it's refreshing to see how beautifully portrayed my mother's native foods are in this book. I bought it as a keepsake for my two young daughters. It's displayed on our kitchen counter where it will sit throughout the seasons so they can look back when they are grown up and remember this cookbook and my love for all things Filipino! I plan on buying more as a gift to my sisters-in-law and closes girlfriends.
Review: Authentic home made Filipino Cuisine can be shared to everyone - I bought this book because I wanted a cookbook that had some history, a story of the author's reflections how it is memorable in terms of food. I love this book because it offers everything -- amazing and captivating pictures of food, the landscape and the people of the Philippines. There is an introduction and history behind all of the dishes and recipes from "Sawsawan" (dipping sauces) to "minatamis" (desserts) and "inumin"(drinks). This book gives you tips and some secrets from chefs that can make a dish extraordinary. First, I am captivated how Yasmin uses her own photography, and provides tips from her mother's cooking, other food experts and chefs from restaurants to make certain recipes extraordinary. Second, she has both Tagalog and english terms incorporated in her tips which is cool for those who are curious and interested in cooking or making these recipes. Third, the stories and related food history is short, concise and keeps you engaged reading the recipes, and very easy to follow the instructions. Fourth, very well organized and recipes are well balanced where you can find dishes that are common and others that are different but the preparation is similar. This item is a great gift to give for those who is interested making Filipino food at their own home, or give someone who is really interested cooking Filipino food for others to share. Even great for the coffee table or add this book to your kitchen library. As a matter of fact, I am buying a used version and giving it as a gift this Christmas for a friend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow!
*by B***) on November 14, 2015*

Wow! I don't usually write reviews, but I was compelled to rave about this purchase. I was just expecting the usual recipe book with a few good pictures and recipes. This was a delightful surprise. The author did a wonderful job representing the islands I'm from. The recipes and a brief Philippine food history are well written. It even comes with a helpful ribbon page-marker. And the pictures... my goodness... are alone worth the value of the book to me, that it makes me yearn to book a flight to visit the Philippines again : ) Thank you for including many recipes I have long since enjoyed, especially my favorite- Biko (coconut caramel sticky rice cake) dessert recipe. My Grandmother loved to make this for us often, and I'm happy to say that this book's Biko recipe yields an authentic taste and look. Looking forward to cooking more from this excellent recipe book. Maraming salamat to the author!
