Hey, you! 🇵🇭
People might think I'm a lil biased because the author is Filipino and maybe I might just be a lil bit but I don't care what people think of me - I loved this book!!! ❤️
This cozy mystery is just what I needed. I laughed so many times while imagining myself being in that kitchen with Lola Flor, Tita Rosie, Tita April, Tita May, and Tita June. Gossiping, cooking, eating, laughing a.k.a the story of my childhood. I was also a bit sad thinking of how long ago I've had chika minute moments or even doing the mano po! I felt a real genuine warmth which of course, we're known for as Filipinos, diba?
Don't even get me started with the yummy Filipino dishes! Chicken Adobo ftw 🤤🤤 Click here to have my recipe. This book will make you go hungry! The last time a book made me feel like this was Crazy Rich Asians (click here for the post). Must be an Asian thing. LOL. 😹😹
I finished this book so quickly that now I'm craving for more of Tita Rosie's Kitchen mystery! So whether you are unfamiliar and want to learn about the Filipino culture or you are Filipino and want to read something familiar, I strongly recommend this book!
