Food and Lit: the Philippines

December’s country for #FoodandLit was the Philippines. December wasn’t a great month for trying new recipes. The holidays plus my busiest few weeks at work just don’t give me a lot of spare time or days to experiment. I did find a great cookbook at the library though (The Food and Cooking of Indonesia and the Philippines), and tried a delicious mango and lime drink.

I didn’t read a book set in the Philippines, but I did devour Dear America by Jose Antonio Vargas. This book brought the immigration process to life like no other book I’ve ever read. This should be required reading.

I’m excited to continue #FoodandLit in 2022. Next up is Egypt!
