Book excerpt: From Our Table to Yours: A Collection of Filipino Heirloom Recipes & Family Memories is not just a cookbook of time-tested recipes, but also a treasure trove of stories from some of the country’s most influential foodies. This showcase of generations-old, time-honoured dishes, many of which have been forgotten, are embellished with photographs and personal narratives that make the dishes all the more special and worth sharing. About the Author: Angelo F. Comsti has long been working with food. He is a food writer, food stylist, recipe developer and demo cook. He recently added more titles to his credentials—as a bona fide chef, graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney and becoming a deli owner, heading the kitchen operations of The Food Barn, a neighbourhood snack bar serving gourmet sandwiches. He turns down no opportunity for more adventures as long as they deal with food.
