Philippine Cuisines & Filipino Food Recipes
Let's face it, Filipinos love to cook. Many Philippine cuisine and Filipino food recipes have been created out of the Filipino's love of food. Whereever you may visit in the Philippine, different servings of Philippine cuisine in a variety of colors and taste, are prepared on the dining table in every home.
Some of the Philippine cuisine recipes that are prepared today are not originally Filipino. The Filipino style of cooking has evolved through the years and resulted from the fusion of influences by different culinary arts from around the Asian region. During the Spanish and American occupation of the country, many styles of cooking have been borrowed from these two countries and were soon improved upon, tried with different ingredients, bought from a filipino food market, which resulted to numerous offshoots from the original recipes.
The Filipino cuisine as a whole is an amalgam of European, Chinese, American, Arab and Spanish cuisines. As time passed, each region in the Philippine developed their own filipino food especialty. Of course, the Bicolanos have their "bicol express" - a spicy filipino dish food served in coconut milk, and the Ilocanos have their "pakbet" - a blend of different kinds of vegetable mixed with small chunks of meat.
You name it. The Filipino food recipes include longganisa, tapa, torta, the world-famous chicken adobo, torta, mechado, kare-kare, sinigang, and lumpia. Who could forget lechon baboy? A filipino gathering, especially in fiestas and festivals wouldn't be complete without lechon (roasted pig).
These different Philippine cuisines and Filipino food recipes were created as they are due to the Filipino's touch and creativity when it comes to cooking. Each Philippine cuisine recipe is a gastronomical experience per se. Have some taste of it.
