Signed 2nd Ed 1982 The Science of Philippine Foods by Patricia T. Arroyo Staub

Signed 1982 Edition. Foxing on edges of all pages.

In this book Philippine foods refer to both the indigenous foods as well as to the widely accepted non-indigenous food items introduced by visiting or conquering nations in the Philippines’ colorful history. This is the first publication which discusses foods such as rice, duck eggs, carabeef, tinapa, coconut oil, bagoong, patis, bangus, edible bird’s nest, goat’s meat, banana, mango, avocado, makapuno, panutsa, refined cane sugar, carabao milk and kesong puti. Some of the non-indigenous foods included are wheat, evaporated milk, leche flan, bihon, mayonnaise and cheddar cheese.

The book may be valuable to the practicing food technologist, nutritionist, food service manager, food engineer, agriculturist and home economist. Any food enthusiast may also find it an interesting reading material. To the non-Filipino reader, this book may be a good source of information about tropical foods.
