Praise for Filipinx

“This cookbook by superstars Angela Dimayuga and Ligaya Mishan is a contemplation on what it means to be Filipinx through food. The recipes are inviting and easy to follow, while the narrative merits a book unto itself. The whole is a dinner party, full of delicious food, interesting people, and compelling stories that describe a proud, diverse, and inclusive community. This is a book you’ll want to devour whole.”
Michelin-starred chef and author of Solo

“Filipinx is the story of the daughter of immigrants who doesn’t feel the need to assimilate into America, but rather celebrates her roots and culture in their full richness—that is her contribution to being an American. Strong, thoughtful, and to the point, all while stylistically challenging what a ‘cookbook’ can be.”
fashion designer and co-founder of Opening Ceremony

“Reading Filipinx both filled me with longing and satisfied hungers I’d almost forgotten how to access. I returned home in its pages—to memories of pork chops in the turbo broiler, rice grains on the bottom of tube socks, the crinkling of wrappers around Food for the Gods. Angela Dimayuga and Ligaya Mishan have created an essential document for the next generation of the Filipinx diaspora and a beautiful guide for anyone who thinks of food the way Filipinos do—as a humble, extravagant expression of communal love.”
New Yorker staff writer and author of Trick Mirror

“If you want to understand the arc of Filipino food, realize its connection to other cuisines, and craft splendid flavors, Filipinx delivers. Angela Dimayuga and Ligaya Mishan packed the pages with tender remembrances, careful research, and smart recipes. Anyone interested in Asian cuisines should have this book.”
author of The Pho Cookbook and Into the Vietnamese Kitchen
