Title: Loaded with inaccuracies
Product review: I bought this book as a gift for my sister. We are both filipinas raised in the US and are deeply fond of our ethnic cuisine. As such, we were excited to try recipes in the book. We tried the chicken siopao recipe first. It was a disaster. The dough did not rise despite the fresh yeast. After the addition of the flour the dough was hard and unworkable. The seasonings for the chicken were too conservative. The filling should be slightly sweet. We had to doctor it up quite a bit.The Kutsinta recipe was a complete failure. It turned out thick and cakey rather than transulcent and gelatinous. It was also much too sweet.I would not recommend this book to any native filipino. If you are accustomed to the taste of the filipino cuisine, you will appreciate the deficiencies in the book.
