I love Filipino food and am always looking for new, creative recipes that capture the vibrant flavors of the food. While these are the traditional foods that I grew up eating, it is refreshing to see them all reimagined in a vegetable-forward way, something that is not prevalent for them in the traditional sense. The ingredients, for the most part, will be easy to find for any home cook that has access to an Asian market but some items, such as calamansi, might be more difficult, and I wish there had been a substitute (although it’s not a perfect science and there really is no substitute for this unique fruit) recommended so these recipes don’t have to be skipped. . Gorgeous photographs highlight the locally-sourced, seasonally selected vegetables that showcase the recipes.
