Adrian Briones is the author of Australia's First Filipino Cookbook. Since its official April 2012 release, it has landed in the Bookdepository.com Best Sellers and recently won Best Asian Cuisine Book (Australia) at the renowned 18th  Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

Adrian has been featured in SBS Food, The Herald Sun, Food and Travel, The Melting Pot, BBC Radio, SBS Radio, HomeAway, MTV online and Be@Home and writes for the award winning food blog foodrehab.com.au.

Born in the 'Culinary Capital' of the Philippines, San Fernando, Pampanga, Adrian describes Filipino food as 'Asian Soul Food' and spent two years writing his first book What The Heck Is Filipino Food? A Beginner's Guide to Filipino Cooking, to break the ice about Filipino food and its mystery in Australia so to speak; where there are hardly any Filipino restaurants.

The book stands as a tribute to Adrian's mum who taught him how to cook and her infamous secret recipes that have had many people drooling not too mention queuing for years and is filled with childhood stories as well as a humorous take on Filipino history.

In addition to being a super easy guide to traditional Filipino cooking and culture, there are a few twists on the classics from Pulled Pork Adobo Pie to Frenchy Filipino Toast with Maple Butter - taking traditional recipes into the 21st century. It also includes incredible photography taken in the Philippines. 

The book has the look and feel of a comic book complete with flashy quote boxes, superhero fonts, cartoon characters and an in depth glossary which describes many of the ingredients that you may not know of that is used in Philippine cuisine. Certainly not your average cookbook. There are two chapters in the book with one chapter on Merienda (snacks/light meals) and another focusing on the larger meals/mains, very much in the same vain as how Filipino's spread out their meals throughout the day.

You will learn how to make many incredible and fragrant 'kapampangan' dishes from scratch using simple techniques, fresh produce and ingredients that may already be in your pantry.

Pacific Rim

A surprise to those unfamiliar with the Philippines is the great geographical diversity of the Islands and their six major culinary regions. Gerry Gelle's contribution to our understanding of this diversity is his knowledge of these regions. His recipes include the mountain and coastal regions of Northern Luzon and the many islands of the Visayas and the island of Mindanao. We learn of the rich mixtures of people, from the Pangasinans of Luzon with their specialty of "cultured" fish, to the Tagalogs, who use vinegar and fruits to give their dishes the preferred sour taste. He explains the use of guinamos, a paste of fermented shrimp or fish in the Visayas, and the use of hot chilies and spices to make curry in Mindanao. After cooking with these recipes, you will know the aromas and tastes of Filipino cooking.

"Although he gives a culinary geography lesson of the spread-out islands that make up the Philippines, Gelle says 'the book was written from a Filipino-American point of view, not a Filipino point of view.' Thus, the recipes sometimes have been modified to fit both American ingredients and the Americanized tastes of those born and raised in this country. The recipes are no less authentic for being adapted."-San Francisco Chronicle

"There are far too few Filipino cookbooks on the market; most competitors appearing in non-durable paperback which may not survive the rigors of library lending. This solid hardcover is perfect for a library's ethnic cookbook collection: over 200 recipes complete with a selection of fine color photos embellish an in-depth reference to the cuisine of many Philippine islands. Included are an index and glossary, plus plenty of cultural references."-The Bookwatch
