Growing up in Southern California as a first-generation Filipino American, Woldy Reyes felt like an outsider, always straddling two worlds. At home, his family ate adobo with rice, gathered in the kitchen to roll lumpia, and roasted a whole goat in the backyard to make kalderetang kambing (celebratory goat stew). At school, all he wanted was Lunchables and Flamin' Hot Cheetos. It wasn't until he discovered the power of food as a means of connection--to strangers and friends, to his heritage, and even to himself--that he began cooking in earnest and sharing his story through the dishes he made. His signature style, now beloved by his catering clients in New York City and beyond, highlights classic Filipino food but with a focus on local, seasonal produce and artful presentation.

In the Kusina is Woldy's story told through a collection of vibrant, vegetable-forward recipes and his distinct lens as a queer Filipino American. These aren't your lola's traditional dishes; here, Filipino tastes and techniques are reimagined for a new generation of home cooks, resulting in a trove of elegant and boldly flavorful recipes organized by season, including:

• Garlic Furikake Rice with Fried Egg
• Pancit Salad
• Adobo Green Beans
• Kabocha Squash Lumpia
• Decadent hot and cold drinks, luscious desserts, and much more

Brimming with gorgeously stylish photos of food that's as lovely to look at as it is to eat, this is more than just a carefully curated selection of recipes. In the Kusina is a joyful story told in Woldy's charming voice, a love letter to Filipino food, and, most of all, a cookbook filled with delicious recipes that you'll turn to again and again.

UNIQUE TAKE ON FILIPINO CUISINE: Woldy's approach to Filipino food is light, fresh, and uniquely his own. His focus on in-season ingredients and beautiful presentation transforms classic Filipino dishes into contemporary renditions that will appeal to first-generation and modern home cooks looking for novel recipes with Asian influence.

SEASONAL COOKBOOK: In the Kusina highlights the benefits of eating with the seasons, shopping at your local farmers market, and enjoying produce in its prime, which is better for you as well as the planet. Organized by season, these colorful, healthy recipes show you how to make plant-based and vegetarian dishes that taste divine, sing with flavor, and leave you feeling nourished and energized.

COOKING GIFT: With a distinctive exposed binding, gorgeous cover, and interiors brimming with artful images, this luxe book looks as beautiful as the recipes taste. Perfect for gift-giving or displaying on a cookbook shelf, kitchen island, or coffee table.

Perfect for:

• Fans of Asian cuisine, including the food of the Philippines
• Curious home cooks who love trying new recipes
• Filipino Americans eager to enjoy dishes they grew up with in a more veggie-forward way
• Eco-conscious eaters looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into their diet
• Birthday, wedding, or housewarming present for food lovers

Puckeringly sour adobos with meat so tender you can cut it with a fork. National favorites like kare kare (oxtail stew) and kinilaw (fresh seafood cured in vinegar), Chinese-influenced pansit (noodles), tamales by way of early Mexican immigrants, and Arab-inflected fare. These dishes and more reflect the influence and ingredients of the Spaniards and Americans, among others, who came to the islands--but Filipinos turned the food into their own unique cuisine.

Filled with bold and bright photographs, I Am a Filipino is like a classic Kamayan dinner--one long festive table piled high with food. Just dig in!

'Agak agak' is a colloquial term rooted in the Malay word for 'somewhat'. This term comes to life especially in the home kitchen, where cooks rely on their senses and experience, rather than tools or exact formulas.

Singaporean cuisine, as we know it today, has come from a long history of adjusting and adapting and doing things 'to taste'. In Agak Agak, Shu Han Lee encapsulates this approach to cooking by sharing delicious recipes that bring punchy Singaporean flavors to simple home cooking, whilst encouraging you to use these recipes as inspiration to create other dishes.

Try classic and modern recipes such as Kaya Toast with Half-Boiled Eggs, Nasi Goreng, 8-hour Ox Cheek Rendang, Green Beans with Turmeric and Toasted Coconut, Chilli Crab Spaghetti, Mum's Steamed Pumpkin Rice, Pandan Swiss Roll and Black Sticky Rice Pudding with Rhubarb, amongst others.

With tips and tricks, Agak Agak shares more than Singaporean recipes perfect for home cooks, it shares a fun, fresh and creative way of cooking.

From the beloved San Francisco restaurant, a mouthwatering collection of recipes, including Fiery Tofu, Garlic Noodles, the legendary Tea Leaf Salad, and many more. Never before have the vivid flavors of Burmese cooking been so achievable for home cooks.

Known for its bustling tables, the sizzle of onions and garlic in the wok, and a wait time so legendary that customers start to line up before the doors even open--Burma Superstar is a Bay Area institution, offering diners a taste of the addictively savory and spiced food of Myanmar. With influences from neighboring India and China, as well as Thailand and Laos, Burmese food is a unique blend of flavors, and Burma Superstar includes such stand-out dishes as the iconic Tea Leaf Salad, Chili Lamb, Pork and Pumpkin Stew, Platha (a buttery layered flatbread), Spicy Eggplant, and Mohinga, a fish noodle soup that is arguably Myanmar's national dish.

Each of these nearly 90 recipes has been streamlined for home cooks of all experience levels, and without the need for special equipment or long lists of hard-to-find ingredients. Stunningly photographed, and peppered with essays about the country and its food, this inside look at the world of Burma Superstar presents a seductive glimpse of this jewel of Southeast Asia.

In her debut cookbook Filipinx, acclaimed and award-winning chef Angela Dimayuga shares her passion for Filipino food with home cooks, cowritten with food writer Ligaya Mishan.

Filipinx offers 100 deeply personal recipes--many of them dishes that define home for Angela Dimayuga and the more than four million people of Filipino descent in the United States. The book tells the story of how Dimayuga grew up in an immigrant family in Northern California, trained in restaurant kitchens in New York City--learning to make everything from bistro fare to Asian American cuisine--then returned to her roots, discovering in her family's home cooking the same intense attention to detail and technique she'd found in fine dining.

In this book, Dimayuga puts a fresh spin on classics: adobo, perhaps the Filipino dish best known outside the Philippines, is traditionally built on a trinity of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic--all pantry staples--but add coconut milk, vinegar, and oil, and it turns lush and silky; ribeye steaks bring extra richness to bistek, gilded with butter and a bright splash of lemon and orange juice. These are the punches of flavor and inspired recipes that home cooks have been longing for. You'll find recipes such as:

• Coconut Milk Chicken Adobo
• Oxtail Peanut Stew
• Sinigang: Sour Tamarind Broth with Pork and Vegetables
• Filipino Spaghetti
• Homemade Longganisa

A modern, welcoming resource for this essential cuisine, Filipinx shares exciting and approachable recipes everyone will wholeheartedly embrace in their own kitchens.

The recipes are inviting and easy to follow, while the narrative merits a book unto itself. The whole is a dinner party, full of delicious food, interesting people, and compelling stories that describe a proud, diverse, and inclusive community. This is a book you'll want to devour whole. --Anita Lo, Michelin-starred chef and author of Solo
