Filipino Comfort Food Cookbook: Classic Home Cooking for Filipino Americans & Beginners with Adobo, Pancit, Sisig, BBQ, Rice Bowls, Stews & More

For many second-generation Filipino Americans, some of the most meaningful memories are connected to food: a pot of adobo simmering on the stove, pancit at a family celebration, Filipino spaghetti at a birthday party, crispy lechon kawali on the table, or a bowl of arroz caldo on a rainy day.

But if your parents or grandparents cooked mostly from memory, you may have grown up eating these dishes without ever learning how to prepare them.

Filipino Comfort Food Cookbook brings those beloved flavors into an approachable collection designed for home cooks, Filipino Americans, beginners, and anyone who wants authentic-inspired Filipino family meals without complicated instructions.

Inside, you'll find comforting recipes featuring chicken, pork, beef, seafood, noodles, vegetables, coconut milk, rice, and more.
