The Philippine Cookbook (2nd Edition) (PRE-ORDER)

SYNOPSIS:

Filipino society is basically matriarchal. The oldest woman in a clan-the matriarch-is loved, honored and, almost unhesitatingly obeyed. She holds sway over most affairs of the clan. At family get-togethers, she invariably takes center stage. On Sundays, when many clans get together for a meal, she indulges all by preparing their favorite dishes-those timeless recipes handed down by the mothers to their sons and daughters.

This book is a compilation of such recipes.

Family and dear friends have generously shared a wealth of culinary gems which have little variations featured here, those extra touches and twists, that make this book different. Collecting this wealth of materials was not easy. Many recipes were described verbally. Some older ones made us of measures and proportions that are no longer known. We had to test each recipe to make sure that the original flavors were preserved, even after proportions were adjusted and procedures simplified to suit today’s cook.

In spite of everything, we thoroughly enjoyed researching and writing this book. We know that many of you will enjoy using it, over and over, for years to come.

❗️NOTE❗️:

THIS IS A ❗️PRE-ORDER ITEM❗️PRODUCT WILL BE SHIPPED IN THE END OF AUGUST-SEPTEMBER.

 If you are ordering an item that is currently in stock in the same order, the order will be held until the pre-ordered book or item arrives from the Philippines. Shipping of pre-ordered items from our partners in the Philippines to New York are scheduled to take place in May, August and November 2026 ONLY.

Once pre-ordered items ship and arrive from the Philippines to New York, items will be dispatched from New York to their final destination.

Due to the gas situation worldwide and especially in the Philippines, shipping of pre-ordered items are delayed and shipping from the Philippines has been set to ease our partner's in the Philippines.

Shipping during these 3 months for 2026 also allow our partnered local artisans from the Philippines such as our weavers, anitu sculptors, and brass pre-colonial gold replica jewelry pieces, the time needed they need to work on your one of a kind, handmade pieces. 

These pieces are all handmade by our local partners and traditional artisans, not mass produced. If you want a ready made and in stock clothing piece, figure, ceramic, or jewelry piece, if we have any available in stock and on hand, you purchase those. Every shipment from the Philippines we do order extra's to put up on the shop for those who want to keep an eye out for in stock items. 

❗️CURRENT SHIPPING❗️

If you are going to be pre-ordering an item and ordering an in stock item, two separate orders must be placed to guarantee arrival of in stock products within 2-3 weeks.

Our shipping days for in-stock items from New York are currently only being shipped at the beginning and end of each month. This allows time for packing and shipping items. Also due to the rising gas prices, we have decided to cut back on shipping days to make it easier on ourselves (two person team) to pack and deliver items to the Post Office 2x a month.
