Publishers Text

"If there is an ingredient in the Filipino kitchen that has the most number of uses in traditional and new recipes, it has to be rice. I have always believed that although we may be fragmented as a country, there is but one thing that brings together our common preference in taste and texture, from north to south, and that is rice." "Rice is one of te most ancient food sources, having a long line of uses--from staple carbohydrate source, to beverage (such as in infusions and wines), to snacks and desserts. The foreign influences in our cuisine, coming from our Chinese, Malay, and Spanish forebears, only reinforce our deep appreciation for rice dishes." "With better transportationand technology in agriculture, we Filipinos have expanded our appreciation for the sacred grain by tasting traditional and new strains of rice that run the gamut from gourmet to health food. " " On occasions that I find myself in provincial market, I always make it a point to visit the rice section to look for native varieties worthy of bringing back home for sampling. " "Now, there is hardly any need fr me to go to provincial markets to satisfy my curiosity as regards native rice varieties for they are now conveniently available in specialty shops ad even supermarkets." "With the new and deeper appreciation we Pinoys now have for our cuisine and our new discoveries of regional dishes, facor in our introduction to new advances in cooking technology, I can forsee that within the next few years we will have access to a variety of fresh ingredients and the time to cook more often at home. This can only aid in preserving the true character of our native cuisine, especially our appreciation for rice." Gene Gonzalez President and Head Instructor Center for Asian Culinary Studies
