With PACIFIC CROSSINGS, the reader will experience the adobo in a new light - cooked with different kinds of seafood and vegetables, be introduced to a soup made from purple potatoes that are just now becoming popular in the United States, and marvel at the different ways of making barbecue.
Illustrated with more than 50 color photographs shot by Bill McConnell, the book will delight the eye and whet the appetite of any reader who has ever dreamed of crossing the Pacific.

"In the book, the chefs veer away from traditional Filipino cooking. Theirs is 'new world' or 'fusion' cooking. Yet, although it is imaginative and creative, and yes, even experimental, it retains the basic flavor of the original recipes with whatever ingredients are available. Thus, 'Pacific Crossings' introduces an entirely different concept of Philippine cuisine." -Rosalinda L. Orosa, Starweek of The Philippine Star

"The recipes in this book reflect what is being referred to as New World or fusion cooking. What this basically means is the coming together of different influences in food - classic traditional cuisine reinterpreted and infused with new vigor through new techniques and the combination of flavors and spices from East and West." -Excerpts from the Author.
