Even though Fernandez has appeared in cookbooks like Baking Filipino: A Century of Quezon Country Recipes and Filipino: The Cookbook, her writings are less common in those titles. A 1992 essay found in Baking Filipino, \"Bibingka-Ilog-Agaw sa Ating Luta,\" explored the street food that the 1930s generation became familiar with as a reflection of the historical Republic of (now) the Philippines. In the essay, Fernandez explained the reason why it was not widely known about yet: How Filipino food was not promoted to Filipinos, with stories narrated by foreigners. And Fernandez explains further: \"To most Filipinos, Bibingka is a novelty, a flavor to be savored, not a cultural icon.\"
The popularity of Filipino food has spread worldwide in recent years. But before the internet, Filipinos rarely saw scholarly works which explored the intricate details and history of their cuisine. And when they did read Filipino food books, they either read English-language books, or studied abroad.
\"I'm sure that in the past, any Filipino who went to the U.S. would have read culinary at least once,\" Fernandez said. She recalled how eager her English-speaking family would be to cook a specific dish: \"Even my husband would ask me which recipes I would make.\" However, Filipino audiences in the U.S. have grown more sophisticated over the past decades, with Filipino food venues playing an integral role in luring American millennials on vacation and long-term housekeepers with their own families. 7211a4ac4a
