The print run for Philippine publications is small compared to US books. Thus, titles go out of stock sooner and eventually go out of print.

Instead it means digging deep into human experience, because tasting, eating and savoring are very intimate ventures.\" Received the 1998 Gintong Aklat Award and considered one of the \"bibles\" by food and culture lovers and writers. This book is definitely not a book of recipes but more of the culinary history of Philippine food. A valuable book of information and now out of print. A copy or two are available in our bookshop.
