Entertaining, Filipino Style, a guide to stress-free parties to celebrate special occasions with food in the tradition of Filipino culture and hospitality.

General Information section with comprehensive tables of weights, measures, and conversions; updated cooking tips and glossary; and an index listing both English and Filipino names of recipes so that they are easier to find.
