The Flavors of the PHILIPPINES - By Anita Sese -Schon
ANITA SESE-SCHON travels back to her homeland and rediscovers her beautiful people and country. She takes with her on her trips Anita's Kitchen, a kitchen without walls, and she cooks out in far-flung places with local folk as participants. Her message to her countrymen: Filipino foods can be healthier, can have enhanced nutrition, can be prepared with less extravagance, and can be shared with a greater number of people.
The cook book is a collection of her inimitable recipes. It is also a travelogue and a gallery of biographical sketches of the author and the people she meets. Anita is an indefatigable traveler and a motivator for positive social actions.
The book is a full-color, 8.5 x 8.5-inch collector's item.
A perfect guide to patrons of Filipino cuisine. What sets Anita's recipes apart from others is her tweaking of traditional favorites to make them more healthy, nutritious, presentable and affordable. She has put a lot of common sense into the preparations of the dishes.

Anita’s Kitchen is a symbol and a fact,
“A room that has no walls,” both a small and a big tract;
From far-off Washington, it travels near and far,
Across the mails and halls, the Grand Chef is a star.
She guides the younger hands and hones those of the old
To make menus unique and recipes untold.
What kitchen is this one that uses items rare
And patronizes those ingredients everywhere?
Experience is the best of teachers, so they say,
The Best Experience, then, is this Anita’s K.
It aims to feed the poor and give them livelihood
By joining hands at work and serving simple food.
By all means, all Pinoys should strive to multiply
Anita’s Kitchens near and far as years go by.
As Food is Number One in life’s incessant toil,
We cook and eat as one, while we ourselves enjoy.
