Amboy – Cookbook Giveaway
September 27, 2020 by JennyEnter our US/Canada giveaway to win one of two copies of Amboy: Recipes from the Filipino-American Dream by Alvin Cailan and Alexandra Cuerdo.
Amboy: Recipes from the Filipino-American Dream by Alvin Cailan and Alexandra Cuerdo tells the story of Los Angeles’ Eggslut chef’s rise to fame through recipes. Amboy is the nickname his grandmother gave him, a name for an American-born Filipino. Amboy is also the name given to his latest venture a burger/butcher shop in LA’s Chinatown.
Recipes in his debut cookbook range from Filipino classics such as adobo and lumpia to Thursday-night retreat house chicken (roast chicken marinated in Italian dressing) which was fed to the nuns at his first job (15 years old as a dishwasher) at the Sacred Heart Retreat House. Cailan’s “slut” recipe is shared as well. This dish ignited his rise to fame after Ruth Reichl ate the dish: cage-free coddled egg on top of a smooth potato purée, poached in a glass jar, topped with gray salt and chives, served with slices of baguette.
There is something to love here for everyone from lovers of great food to those who enjoy a great read with their recipes. You can’t help but like this down-to-earth guy. Check out his NPR interview. A few recipes from this book were shared here.
