The Little Kakanin Book


Book Description

Part of the Pinoy Classic Cuisine Series, a collection of little books on Philippine cuisine and beverage, which serves as an easy, fast guide for today’s cosmopolitan kitchens and busy bodies. “When you talk about kakanin, it is almost always associated with laborious procedures and preparations. More often than not, it is also associated with the traditional and old fashioned. At a time when other countries have been digging deep into their treasures and classic recipes to preserve their heritage, I tried to look for simple and simplified versions of Filipino kakanin. I hope that this collection of recipes would dispel the common belief that our popular snack is difficult to make and can only be eaten during special occasions.” — From the Introduction Includes recipes for Pichi-pichi Pinipig, Ube Puto, Tibok-tibok, Calabasa Flan with Honey Butter Sauce, and many more.

Book Description

What if every story you'd ever heard was true? Jack killed the giants. Red slayed the wolf. Rapunzel fled the tower. But the greatest one of all, had yet to be told. Once upon a time, the magical Kingdom of Avalon was left to wither and die after the Snow Queen encased it in ice. Its former citizens are now refugees. Which is why crown prince Alex and his protectors are stuck in... Arizona. Tala Makiling has lived her life as an outsider. Her family curse, the one that's doomed her to be a spellbreaker, someone who destroys magic, hasn't won her too many friends. Except Alex, who trusts her and her family to keep his royal identity a secret. And then one night, a famous creature of legend, the Firebird, appears in their tiny town, reigniting hope for their abandoned homeland.
