Tikim: Essays on Philippine Food and Culture by Doreen Fernandez First Edition (Out of Print)

This book has been reprinted several times since its first release and have been selling well that even reprint editions have become collector's items. 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. The book being offered here for sale came from a third party and not from the publisher, and the price was dictated by the source of this book.

This copy is the 4th printing of the first edition.

"...Writing about food is not a matter of dipping into the thesaurus to discover the many ways to say 'tasty.' 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. Order it before it completely disappears. If you are really interested in the book, do not let the price deter you from getting a valuable reference material." -Excerpts from the Author's Introduction.
