"The Philippine Cookbook" giveaway
We’re giving away one copy of “The Philippine Cookbook“!
This cookbook by famous author Reynaldo Alejandro has had fave reviews, and we personally like it. If you’re looking for cooking that your momma made, without a lot of fuss, as she would have made it in the Philippines with very limited ingredients, you’ll want to use this book. If you have no idea of what Philippine cooking and cuisine are all about, then this is the book to have. The recipes are very simple, very doable, and most of the ingredients are staple.
How to join? Simply tell us in the comments that you want it! The contest is open only to US residents with a valid email address. It will run through 11:59 PM EST April 27, 2008 (Sunday). One winner will be randomly chosen and announced on April 28.
It’s the first day of the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival so if you want more freebies, then just hop over to this site HERE for more contests and giveaways!
UPDATE: APRIL 28, 2008 – This contest is now officially over. A winner has been picked – HERE.

I would love to win this cookbook. We are in the process of adopting a child from the Philippines. So I really need to start trying out some Filipino recipes!
Am I first? I am never ever first on blogs!
I would love to have this book because my grandfather was from the Phillipines but he died and took all his recipes with him (he has no recipes..they were all in his head).
I’d love to cook some of the delicious dishes for my son and hubby, but have no idea where to start!

I’d love to win this… I love all sorts of ethnic foods. I actually don’t own any cookbooks either, so that would be a nice start for my collection.
Hubby is Philippine and was lucky that the family sent him, dad, and his American mother to the USA before the Japanese invaded. His dad was the cook and he misses adobo, a sweet bread, and other items. So if I win, I will not tell him until I have book in hand for us to find recipes to make and try to get foods like in his memory.
Thank you very much.
Do you know where I can get book by author Marceil Lichauco, Dear Mother Putnam? As well as one by him about the Spanish- American war?
thank you in advance.
I would love to try out this cookbook!!
I love cooking different kinds of food! Please enter me
Mmm… Philippine food! Sounds great!

I love Ethnic food. Chow King is one of my favorite restaurants–great Filipino food!
I would love to win this because I had a Filipino roommate who used to make me pancit (sp?) and I would love to know how to make it. I haven’t had it in years and I loved it.
I totally want it! We love food from all over the world in our house.
I would love to win this. My husband works with a Phillipino woman, and she has sent home some delicious food with him. I would not begin to know how to make it, but this would help.

My hubby lived in the Phillipines for three years, and would love me to make some of the amazing food! Thanks!
OMG! I MUST win this. I am half Philippino and my mom has this cookbook. I love the lumpia recipe. She won’t hand over the book until she dies (and that won’t be anytime soon, knock on wood). But I need those amazing recipes NOW!
Oh I would love to win this. Philippino food is so wonderful – pancit, adobo, you name it; I’ll eat it.

I would love to try to cook some real authenic Philippine food, instead of just chicken with Pineapple and Soy sauce that I call Philippine!!
One of my sister’s in-laws married a Philippine man…I love their cooking!
I would love to win this cookbook.
I’d love to have this cookbook! I’m away at college and miss my mom’s cooking. She keeps forgetting to give me her recipes and I only know a few desserts from cooking with my lola, so it’d be great to feel at home away from home, at least in the kitchen! Thanks for entering me!
GREAT giveaway!
I WANT it!
