Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Garlic fried rice (Sinangag)

    • rachel_ywqstg on May 06, 2026

      Deceptively simple, but a truly perfect component to any “silog” dish! Flavorful while not overpowering, this garlic fried rice reminds me of home.

  • Chicken tinola (Tinolang manok)

    • rachel_ywqstg on June 11, 2026

      A light and nourishing chicken ginger soup - perfect for rainy days or when you’re not feeling well. I’ve made this soup many times, but I hadn’t used rice washings until now. I enjoyed this addition, and my filipino relatives mentioned that it’s actually a common practice. I also used chayote instead of green papaya, which is had to find in my area.

  • Chicken and coconut milk adobo (Adobong manok sa gata)

    • Kduncan on June 06, 2019

      Used rice vinegar and ginger instead of coconut vinegar and turmeric. Marinated overnight, also I accidentally cut the chilies before adding them to marinade, which made things very spicy (also bird-eyes chilies are in the marinade which aren't listed in the ingredients list). Despite it being a bit too hot, we really like this, it had great flavor from the coconut milk with the vinegar. It's pretty easy to make so I can definitely see us making this again.

    • Yildiz100 on June 18, 2022

      This was very good but almost a little too sour. Still, the acidity made it addictive. Maybe it was the rice vinegar that I used instead of coconut vinegar. I will definitely make this again but try the tiniest bit less vinegar.

  • Filipino beefsteak (Bistek Tagalog)

    • rachel_ywqstg on April 01, 2026

      Easy flavorful weeknight meal. I reccomend marinating the beef for at least a couple of hours or overnight. I used skirt steak and it was delicious.

  • Chocolate rice porridge (Tsamporado)

    • Yildiz100 on December 17, 2024

      Definitely makes a lot more than 4 portions. I liked this but I would try another recipe before making it again. I'm not sure you really need 2 different types of rice. Also I The amount of Cocoa powder was a bit excessive and required you to use more sugar than would have otherwise been necessary.

Publishers Text

A beautiful, comprehensive, and evocative cookbook on a relatively undiscovered cuisine.

Despite the Philippines' location right in the middle of Southeast Asia, most people know very little about the country and even less about the cuisine. For Filipinos, food is more than a pleasurable pursuit; it is the cultural language. It can be seen through the prism of its unique and colorful history, with influences from Malaysia, Spain, China, Mexico, and the US adding to the cuisine's rich texture.

Divided into thirteen chapters—Dipping sauces; Breakfast; Soups; Everyday food; Seafood; Party food; Barbecue food; Rice and noodles; Vegetables and salads; Bar and finger food; Snacks; Desserts; and Drinks—7000 Islands is a beautifully illustrated guide to Filipino food and an insight into the culture and history of the Philippines.
