Angelo Comsti’s ‘The Filipino Family Cookbook’ now available in National Book Store

MANILA, Philippines - From the author of the bestselling book From Our Table to Yours, comes a collection of dishes that are deeply rooted in the culture and history of the Philippines—The Filipino Family Cookbook. Angelo Comsti launches his new cookbook that takes readers into the kitchen, the heart of every household, where most delicious memories are made. This treasury of memories has been passed down from generation to generation, and is made richer and more flavorful with the passing of time. The book contains more than 50 unpublished family recipes from some of the Philippines’ favorite food personalities, personal photos and short stories that accompany each recipe detailing the history and unique charm of each dish, and clear and concise step-by-step instructions with tips and advice for food preparation.

Together with food historian Felice Prudente Sta. Maria, restaurateurs Robby Goco and Gaita Fores, notable writers Nana Ozaeta and Jin Perez, and 35 other prominent figures in the local food industry, Angelo gathers time-honored dishes that hail from the various regions of the country and presents the richness of Filipino cuisine.
