Details: Product Description

In her debut cookbook, acclaimed chef Angela Dimayuga shares her passion for Filipino food with home cooks.
Filipinx offers 100 deeply personal recipes—many of them dishes that define home for Angela Dimayuga and the more than four million people of Filipino descent in the United States. The book tells the story of how Dimayuga grew up in an immigrant family in northern California, trained in restaurant kitchens in New York City—learning to make everything from bistro fare to Asian-American cuisine—then returned to her roots, discovering in her family’s home cooking the same intense attention to detail and technique she’d found in fine dining.
In this book, Dimayuga puts a fresh spin on classics: adobo, perhaps the Filipino dish best known outside the Philippines, is traditionally built on a trinity of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic—all pantry staples—but add coconut milk, vinegar, and oil, and it turns lush and silky; ribeye steaks bring extra richness to bistek, gilded with butter and a bright splash of lemon and orange juice. These are the punches of flavor and inspired recipes that home cooks have been longing for.
A modern, welcoming resource for this essential cuisine, Filipinx shares exciting and approachable recipes everyone will wholeheartedly embrace in their own kitchens.

Review

“This cookbook by superstars Angela Dimayuga and Ligaya Mishan is a contemplation on what it means to be Filipinx through food. The recipes are inviting and easy to follow, while the narrative merits a book unto itself. The whole is a dinner party, full of delicious food, interesting people, and compelling stories that describe a proud, diverse, and inclusive community. This is a book you’ll want to devour whole.”

Anita Lo,
Michelin-starred chef and author of Solo


Filipinx is the story of the daughter of immigrants who doesn’t feel the need to assimilate into America, but rather celebrates her roots and culture in their full richness—
that is her contribution to being an American. Strong, thoughtful, and to the point, all while stylistically challenging what a ‘cookbook’ can be.”

Humberto Leon,
fashion designer and co-founder of Opening Ceremony

“Reading
Filipinx both filled me with longing and satisfied hungers I’d almost forgotten how to access. I returned home in its pages—to memories of pork chops in the turbo broiler, rice grains on the bottom of tube socks, the crinkling of wrappers around Food for the Gods. Angela Dimayuga and Ligaya Mishan have created an essential document for the next generation of the Filipinx diaspora and a beautiful guide for anyone who thinks of food the way Filipinos do—as a humble, extravagant expression of communal love.”

Jia Tolentino,
New Yorker staff writer and author of Trick Mirror

“If you want to understand the arc of Filipino food, realize its connection to other cuisines, and craft splendid flavors,
Filipinx delivers. Angela Dimayuga and Ligaya Mishan packed the pages with tender remembrances, careful research, and smart recipes. Anyone interested in Asian cuisines should have this book.”

Andrea Nguyen,
author of The Pho Cookbook and Into the Vietnamese Kitchen
