Filipino Food Recipes

Welcome to our website! The recipes that are featured here are dishes that are commonly  prepared in most Filipino homes.  Although some of the dishes  are served in Filipino restaurants, carinderias (small  eateries with pre-cooked foods) and hotels, all can be prepared easily with the ordinary and common kitchen utensils and equipments at home. Even ingredients are locally available in grocery stores  and community markets.

A particular recipe may have  variations from different  regions of the country that could be brought by cultural differences  or  the  ingredients that are available in a particular area. Like the famous Philippine adobo, it has many variations: Adobo with coconut milk, adobo with liver or liver spread , adobo with potatoes, adobo with pineapple fruit, adobo in soy sauce, adobo sa dilaw (adobo cooked with native ginger  that yield  yellow color)  and many others more. No matter what you put in as long as the ingredients are simmered with the marinade of vinegar, garlic, peppercorn and the aroma of laurel leaf, it is still called adobo in general.  It is all a matter of taste.

For the beginners, just follow the order given in the recipe. Use the right utensils and observe the cooking time given. Sometimes you would need to substitute one ingredients for another. Just take note what changes you would like to make. This will help you to come up with a better result the next time you prepare the same recipe.

Good luck and enjoy  home-style Filipino cooking.
