What The Heck Is Filipino Food? A Beginner's Guide to Filipino Cooking

Adrian Briones is the author of One of Australia's 1st Filipino Cookbooks, a full time super glut, food writer and publisher at the blog foodrehab.com.au. He describes Filipino food as 'Asian Soul Food' and wrote the book What The Heck Is Filipino Food? A Beginner's Guide to Filipino Cooking, to break the ice about Filipino food and its mystery in Australia so to speak; where there are hardly any Filipino restaurants. The book stands as a tribute to Adrian's mum who taught him how to cook and her infamous secret recipes that have had many people drooling not too mention queuing for years and is filled with childhood stories as well as a humorous take on Filipino history. In addition to being a super easy guide to traditional Filipino cooking and culture, there are a few twists on the classics from Pulled Pork Adobo Pie to Frenchy Filipino Toast with Maple Butter - taking traditional recipes into the 21st century. The book has the look and feel of a comic book complete with flashy quote boxes, superhero fonts and cartoons characters. Certainly not your average cookbook.
