SARAP

Sarap: Essays on Philippine Food by Doreen G. Fernandez and Edilberto N. Alegre fortified one of the most formidable collaborations in Philippine literature when it was first published in 1988. The landmark anthology of essays is reintroduced to a new generation of readers in an illustrated edition with a previously unpublished foreword from Clinton Palanca.

PALAYOK

Hailed as “effortlessly elegant” when it was first published in 2000, Palayok: Philippine Food through Time, on Site, in the Pot by Doreen G. Fernandez presents the origins and evolution of Philippine cuisine to the then-present. From her background of cultural research, Fernandez serves not just the meal but also its surrounding context, antecedents, and influences.
