Very enjoyable!!! I never realized the fusion of the #Philippines (caused by colonialism and trade)- native, Spanish, Mexican, Chinese, and American. I love reading cookbooks that include family memories of food. Fun!! #ReadingAsia2021 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle #ReadHarder2021 #foodmemoirbyAOC

Librarybelle I enjoy cookbooks like that too! 3y

#Philippine This memoir is the inverse of your traditional rags to riches story with the author recounting the disintegration of her family and their palatial home in poetic language. I got a good gulp of life in the Philippines along with this introduction to a strong willed survivor and author. I found the book uneven but life is uneven but well worth the read.

Inherited this ten-volume non-fiction series from a grand-uncle who didn't have much shelf space anymore. 🤗 I'm glad I'm not the only book hoarder in the family. Also, glad bec this will help A LOT with the M/M historical romance novella I'm outlining. Yay, history!! 🤓📚 #philippine #history

Chachic Nice, Filipino historical romance! What time period? Maybe you should chat with @jenniferhallock 😊 7y
bentchbites @Chachic haha! I'm still in the reluctant-outlining-phase. 😅 I need to do mild research first and then thorough research with @jenniferhallock a little later. 🤗 7y
