Festive Dishes (Nora V. Daza with family and friends)

Nora Daza placed Filipino cuisine on the world map. Her new book carries our culinary rank to greater prominence.--Conrad Calalang, chef, restaurateur, and co-author of Kulinarya, A Guide To Philippine CuisineTo two or three generations of Filipino homemakers, Nora Daza's cookbook (Let's Cook with Nora) was the bible of cooking. No newlywed or departing migrant-to-be was ever without it. The well-worn and stained cookbook is the umbilical cord that refuses to detach itself from our collective mother's womb, forming part of our culinary heritage that binds us together. It literally brings joy to countless dining tables. No Filipino home is without it. -- Claude Tayag, food and travel columnist and author of Food Tour: A Culinary Journal
