“We confess to having had fun writing this book. Any place where there was food, we wanted to explore … our food memory, our experiences consciously studied or unconsciously remembered. It was therefore a case of the present colliding with the past, of past and present enriching each other and our understanding.”
Doreen G. Fernandez
Doreen G. Fernandez (1934–2002) was a 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.
Edilberto N. Alegre
Edilberto N. Alegre (1938–2009) was a poet, writer, and researcher whose special concern was the shape and shaping of Philippine culture as revealed in language and literature, and as manifested in popular culture. He propounded the theory of indigenization based on his linguistic study of Filipino and developed a decolonized framework to better understand identity in the domain of food. He wrote extensively—poems, stories, articles, columns, and books: Inumang Pinoy, Pinoy Forever: Essays on Culture and Language, Pinoy na Pinoy: Essays on National Culture, and Biyaheng Pinoy: A Mindanao Travelogue, released posthumously.
