Welcome Pinoy Food Enthusiasts!

I would like to welcome everyone who came to stumble upon this blog. There are many ways to share a good food recipe from person to person, but there is no better way than making use of a blog site to share it to thousands of people across the country and perhaps to those in other countries who appreciate the mouth watering dishes of the Filipinos.

Recipe is such a dynamic thing. When it is passed from one person to another, it evolves and somewhat takes a life of its own. We took pride at our unique recipes that is handed from one’s generation to another generation. As recipes is passed along came its maturity. Ordinary recipes are magically enhanced and became unique from others.

In this blog site, I will post recipes from my family and friends and also those who are willing to submit their own recipes. Just email the recipe to philsharedrecipes@gmail.com along with a short story about it and some background about the contributor. You can also attach a picture of the food and the contributor.
