To truly appreciate and understand Filipino dishes, you have to understand the evolution of the spices, the nuances of the flavor profiles, the land from which these dishes were birthed. That’s what this book provides. This is not just a book of recipes; this is a book about our story.

These classic dishes that our elders make are now accessible to our generation and the generations to follow. The instructions are clear, the outcome is always delicious, and at a fraction of the time that my parents and grandparents cooked. But my favorite part are the stories of our Filipino culture infused throughout the cookbook that speak to the essence of food as the great connector of people, and hearts, and generations.

The Filipino Instant Pot Cookbook shows the cultural pride of all its authors. Its tantalizing recipes (with side orders of history) gently encourage readers to try Filipino cuisine. A gift to the international Filipino Food Movement, this book adapts recipes for the Instant Pot in an organized and uniquely personal way.

I marveled at the recipes in this book! They prompted delicious memories from childhood: family parties where relatives brought prized dish they’d spent hours or even days preparing. This book makes it possible to recreate some of those sentimental dishes with the same robust flavors in less time.

The Instant Pot Cookbook was so user-friendly and easy to follow for a first time Instant Pot user and busy, working wife and mom like me. The book offers all these amazing, authentic Filipino dishes passed down from the authors’ pamilya (families), now to all of us!
