Update! STEP INTO OUR KITCHENS — Collection of Recipes and Essays by St. Theresa’s College Philippine Graduates

February 18, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

UPDATE Re my cook­book project, STEP INTO OUR KITCHENS: THERESIAN RECIPES AND TALES — I am hap­py to say that Vibal will be pub­lish­ing this book and we’re look­ing at a book launch date of June 8 in Mani­la. We are also look­ing at book sign­ing in Cebu around May 31, all to be confirmed.

 

I am shar­ing the blurb that Ige Ramos wrote for this book that col­lects recipes and per­son­al essays by grad­u­ates of St. There­sa’s Col­lege in the Philippines.

 

“Step Into Our Kitchens: There­sian Recipes and Tales is not just a cook­book; it’s a time cap­sule of cher­ished fam­i­ly recipes and sto­ries passed down through gen­er­a­tions. As you explore these pages, you’ll dis­cov­er more than just ingre­di­ents and cook­ing method—you’ll uncov­er the love, laugh­ter, and tra­di­tions that have shaped a There­sian fam­i­ly’s Philip­pine Food His­to­ri­an culi­nary her­itage. For those with a There­sian grand­moth­er, moth­er, aunt, wife, or sis­ter, let these recipes serve as a bridge to the past, a con­nec­tion to your roots, and a reminder to savor the fla­vors of your fam­i­ly his­to­ry for many years to come. This is a true culi­nary mas­ter­piece that cap­tures the heart and soul of There­sian val­ues. ~ Ige Ramos

 

The pho­to shown is Chef Pam Relam­pa­gos one of the con­trib­u­tors to this food book.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
