- Summary
- "Writing about food has been my pleasurable activity of some 25 years. My teachers are all those who give me information about food : market vendors, street sellers, cooks, chefs, waiters, restaurant and carinderia owners, farmers, tricycle drivers, gardeners, fishermen, aficionados, nutritionists, readers of my columns, friends, food critics and historians, fellow researchers, authors of books (and cookbooks), writers of columns, food anthropologists -- everyone who eats and cares. The essays in this book are the fruits of this research and learning. All were published in the last ten years, in my columns in 'The Philippine Daily Inquirer' and 'Mr. & Ms.', and in other publications like 'The Graphic', 'Metro Magazine', and 'The Sunday Inquirer Magazine'. Some were papers presented at conferences, like The Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery. I have brought them together in this book to provide a taste -- TIKIM lamang -- of Philippine food -- its dishes, flavors, books, feasts, people, places, and history. I hope that some of the information gathered may be useful to others, may encourage some to explore further, might at the very least create a bit more pleasure, and may at the very best help the reader towards a wider understanding of what is Filipino."--
