Filipino cookbook with recipes in English. Cocina Suplipena is a cookbook that partakes of family history and social history. It presents hometown cooking from Sulipan in Pamapanga, a town no longer on the maps, its memory hovering between Calumpit, Bulacan, and Apalit Pampanga. Some dishes come from Kampangan daily fare, like "suam a tulya"; others like "lengua legislativa" come from festive tables, especially those of the legendary capitan Joaquin Arnedo Cruz, his wife capitana Maria Sioco de Tanjutco/ Arnedo, and their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, of whom the author is one. The book is also social history, since the introduction by brother Andrew Gonzalez, FSC, and the author's comments on each section and recipe present the social, economic, and culinary contexts of Sulipan cuisine. since the ecipes have been kitchen-tested by professionals, it is also, and primarily a real working, workable cookbook. ****** about the author****** Gene R. Gonzalez was named one of the ten outstanding young men of 1993, in the area of culinary arts. In the same year, he won a gold medal in fencing at the Southeast Asian games, currently running in the Manila Chronicle is his bi-monthly column, Gastronaut. He is known in karate circles having once been practitioner and teacher. most people know him, however as the conceptualizer, owner-manager , and chef of the restaurants Cafe Ysabel, Gino's Fine Dining, Gene’s Gisttro, and Lasap. Not too many know that he helped form the group of young chefs devoted to the cause of Philippine haute cuisine, who call themselves Alta Cocina Filipina. For this book however, he calls on his Pammmpango heritage, as a descendant of Don Joaquin Arnedo of Sulipan, and a devotee from childhood of good food, fine wines and lifestyles to match.
