Food is not just what we eat. It is what makes us unique as a people. Some have called it our "edible identity". In our food, we find traces of our past and present history. In the way we eat, we show how we celebrate our family and our community. Because it is so commonplace in our lives, we often forget that food is part of our cultural heritage. Find out more about Filipino food and what makes it Filipino.
By introducing different dishes and culinary traditions through their agricultural, historical, and regional roots, readers of all ages, including even the youngest readers, can explore into the world of Filipino cuisine with well-researched articles and fun trivia organized in a concise and easily digestible read.
This book is recommended for children ages nine and above.
