Doreen G. Fernandez (1934–2002) was an incomparable teacher, scholar, and writer. Initially focused on literature and theater, she came to be known best for her pioneering work on food as culture which began when she and her husband were invited to write a newspaper column in 1968. In insightful and evocative prose, she wrote for the next thirty-four years on Filipino food as a gateway to understanding identity and culture.
Her contributions in the field of Philippine studies—preserved in over fifteen books, in publications scholarly and popular, and in numerous papers presented at conferences and symposia—mark her influence among a wide-ranging audience both in the Philippines and abroad.
