The Reyes Family Cookbook

Welcome to the Reyes Family Cookbook. In an attempt to learn more about Filipino food and cooking, as well as learn more about my own family, I have collected four recipes here, each from a different member of my family. For each session, I have conducted an interview while cooking alongside each interviewee. 

It is my hope that this website will encourage more people to try Filipino food, but also to understand the complexities behind the cuisine. Filipino food is deeply intertwined with each person’s individual experience, so it is not so simple as good memories.
