Kinilaw: The Philippine Cuisine of Freshness

In many kinilaw dishes, water and land meet in an instant of delicate freshness. Kinilaw expresses our passion for the ephemeral, our artistic impulse to honor passing moments.

This then is a book of joy—of discovery of our past that throbs in our present, of ourselves, who keel over with each spurt of freshness in hedonistic layers of textures. Finally, it offers the quiet elation of being connected with both nature and lore. That, our being, is our joy.
