This mini coffee-table book gathers one hundred personal recollections of Christmas memories, traditions, and authentic stories from chefs, restaurant owners, food producers, and writers across the Philippines.
The original illustration is by Architect Isaiah Israel D. Susi, FEU's dean of the Institute of Architecture and Fine Arts. With forewords by Felice Prudente Sta. Maria and Amado Forés, it serves as record of Christmas traditions centered around food as shared by prominent and important Philippine chefs, restaurant owners, and food writers.
“We did this because of the really wonderful and moving stories of the contributors to this book: stories of family closeness and generations of tradition, stories of the love of a mother or grandmother expressed through food, stories of struggle, hard work and commitment and eventual success found through a dedication to authenticity in food,” said Maria Teresa Trinidad Tinio, SVP for Academic Affairs, who also leads the FEU Culture Collective—a group of FEU writers, researchers, and artists.
RESILIENCE: The Roots and Rebirth of FEU Roosevelt by Gillian Joyce Virata and edited by Dr. Michael M. Alba and Genna Estrabon celebrates and chronicles the nine decades of the institution’s milestones. It contains inspiring stories from significant leaders, influential figures, movers and alumni who helped shape its history and how the success of this institution is due in large part to their leadership and that of many others.
