New York Times' 'The Best Cookbooks of 2023'A sweet baking book of fantastically imaginative remixed Filipino American dessert recipes, plus essays on the Filipino American experience by bakerfundraiser Abi Balingit.When the pandemic started her lonely workfromhome life in 2020, Abi Balingit channeled all her energy into the one thing that brought her joy: baking. In her tiny, dimly lit, shared kitchen, she produced hundreds of 'pasalubong' (souvenir) boxes filled with especially creative treats that blended the Filipino treats and Western style baked goods she grew up with. Each time, she'd sell out within hours and donated the proceeds to support her community in need.Now Abi shares some of these cultfavorite desserts with Mayumu (which means 'sweet' in one of the 8 major languages in Philippines), an incredibly fresh baking book of 75 recipes that span from the neverbeforeseen, incredibly inventive flavor combinations that Abi dreamed up, to the more familiar, classic Filipino favorites:Adobo Chocolate Chip Cookie Strawberry Shortcake SapinSapin (Rice Cakes) Ube Macapuno Molten Lava Cakes Matcha Pastillas Melon Chicharron Crumble HaloHalo Baked Alaska Throughout, essays following Abi's heritage and selfdiscovery introduce the flavors and experiences that have shaped her life, from visiting the motherland and her parents' birthplace in Pampanga, Philippines, to California where she grew up and went to school, to her now home Brooklyn, NY. This beautiful book is a celebration of the Filipino American experience, perfect for home bakers wanting both nostalgic and excitingly new recipes.
