Where did her recipes come from? From the family heritage, supplemented by diligent research, collecting and clipping from newspapers, magazines, cookbooks and friends: Montserrat Viaplana's Pescado en Mayonesa, and the dessert of meringue islands in a syrup that she called Floating Island, now known as Canonigo; her mother's Sopa de Ajo Seca, Pastel de Pichon and Carne Mechada with chorizOs; her family's classic bread pudding her personal favorite, Zarzuela de Mariscos, a soup-stew of fish, shellfish and crustaceans of different textures; the popular Cochinillo Asado, a three-week-old suckling pig, baked so tender that it could be sliced with a saucer; and more.
The story of Lourdes P. del Rosario is the story of an individual, a talented cook who went from home to teaching to supervising executive lounges and to conceptualizing and running a restaurant now almost 30 years old.
It is also the story of the Filipina, the bearer of family tradition and food culture, the social historian of the home, who literally keeps home fires burning, but goes beyond the household to enrich the workplace with her courage and skills. It is she who is responsible for the Philippines' having the best Spanish restaurants in Southeast Asia; it is she who keeps priorities straight: home and family first, and after them the working world, the country, and the globe.

Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
