Food stories from across the Philippines
Mga Kuwentong Pagkain
Mga Kuwentong Pagkain means “food stories.” These are regional food stories from cooks across the Philippines, each one about the food and the hometown its writer remembers.
The stories were gathered by the food-story program of the Mama Sita Foundation, and each carries its writer’s name and place. You can read about the program itself on the Mama Sita Foundation’s site.
