The Filipino Family Cookbook

by Angelo Comsti

Angelo says, “It started when I

couldn’t find the taisan recipe of

my grandma’s sister. I thought,

what a waste if nobody recorded

it because it was so good...” He

then made it his job to record all

these recipes handed down from

generation to generation, along

with heartwarming stories to

match. If only we could get our

hands on the recipe for that

fantastic paella Pope Francis is

known to make!

R

Father of the Bride (1991)

In the words of George Banks,

“You worry about her meeting the

right guy. That’s the greatest fear

of all, because, then you lose her.”

Steve Martin plays the father of

the bride, Diane Keaton plays his

wife, and Kimberly Williams is their

beloved daughter. The movie is so

simple and real, it’s brilliant. It will

tug at your heart, make you laugh

out loud, and cry uncontrollably.

Nothing brings a family together

quite like a wedding.

and sense of joy you need to get

you through the day.
