To decrease the cost of cultivation in Conventional paddy, to increase profits of the farmers in rice cultivation by decreasing the use of fertilizers, pesticides and minimizing water use by scientific water management in the face of labour scarcity, SRI paddy was introduced in Madagascar. In Conventional paddy the spacing of 20x15cms was followed and days seedlings were used, and whereas, in SRI paddy cultivation, the wider spacing of 25x25cms was followed and by days seedlings were used.

Although large number of labour were needed for weed management in Conventional paddy, minimal labour was required for weed management in SRI paddy because of using weeders and machinery for weed management.

The mention of my parents' home provinces for their Pan de San Nicolas cookies of Pampanga, and Bulacan's sweet and peppery tamales wrapped in banana leaf very different from how it is elsewhere.

Both I knew and tasted. A chico fruit trivia: The name of Mexico, Pampanga says a historian from that province that its name came from 'masicu' referring to the abundance of chico there. The compelling explainer on the transculturation and indigenization of foreign influences.

The answer can be neither brief nor simple One must answer: all of the above. The assimilation of these foods has not, however, been slavish.

Always, it has involved indigenization, in which tastes are adjusted to the Filipino palate. Jan 09, Angeli Juani rated it it was amazing.

This interest reached new heights in when NYT decided to do a feature on the late Doreen Fernandez, a Filipina food writer and historian. I was one of those who picked up a copy of this collection of essays when Anvil decided to republish it again in early s. I read it over the quarantine period last year, one article at a time, si In recent years, there has been a growing interest in Philippine cuisine, at least pre-COVID, just as there seems to be a rise in Fil-Am literature in the US.

I read it over the quarantine period last year, one article at a time, simultaneously with other books. The essays touched on a variety of topics, such as Philippine street food, different regional flavors and preferences, colonial influences, on fiestas, on drinking habits, and even on first cookbooks and the menu during the Malolos Congress or the inauguration of the First Philippine Republic.

I also noticed that a handful of prominent families were usually featured in the essays, and the mention of these families would be repeated across articles, which then hammers home the idea of how these handful of families have such big influences on shaping our culture and our development as a nation.

I hope to see more Doreen Fernandez-type of writing on our food scene. May 14, Nick Klagge rated it really liked it Shelves: filipino. This book is HARD. I was luckily able to get it on inter-library loan. The volume is basically a collection of magazine columns that Fernandez wrote, I think mostly during the s, with a couple of more academic articles mixed in.

Like any collection-based work, it has its higher and lower points. The latter, while also great and worthwhile, spends its time covering the basics and thus doesn't dive deep on anything. In "Tikim," on the other hand, Fernandez assumes that the reader is generally conversant in Filipino food, meaning that she can go into more depth on things such as different varieties of shrimp found throughout the archipelago or traditional cooking pots. There is also a decent amount of untranslated Tagalog and Spanish the latter from old cookbooks , which could be difficult for me at times.

At its best, "Tikim" reminded me of Tamar Adler's food writing, touching both on the food itself and the role it plays in people's lives. Unfortunately, I can also see the connection to why it is out of print in the U. But for those in that market, it's definitely worth picking up if you can borrow it or find it at a decent price.

Love this book. You can savor it in chapters or devour it at one sitting, but there's lots of food for thought Aug 09, Amanda rated it really liked it. This made me appreciate Filipino food and culture so much more. Oct 08, Barbara rated it really liked it Shelves: philippine-food-books. I think because this book is a collection of essays and columns written over long periods of time and published in many different places, this makes the book as a whole a little redundant.

But since the late s, the demand for local books is dwindling and the Filipino book industry is forcing publishing houses to release fewer serious material in lieu of Wattpad novels and vanity projects ghost written by celebrities and influencers. Several literary classics that have been loved and enjoyed by generations are forced to be out-of-print; "Tikim" was one of "Tikim" was first published in , and it was a hit, and became a mainstay in bookshelves and school libraries for years.

Several literary classics that have been loved and enjoyed by generations are forced to be out-of-print; "Tikim" was one of the casualties. So it came as a surprise when Anvil Publishing announced in early that it would re-release "Tikim. Thanks to the Internet and the "foodie" movement, young Filipinos are becoming more interested in food than their parents, and the Filipino cuisine is more democratized.

Doreen G. Fernandez may have passed away almost two decades ago, but she is now gaining newer fans, proving that she is the food writing icon of the Philippines. Much of the book is still relevant today as it was in , and Fernandez would probably be surprised to see that little has changed about Manila street food. Readers, young and old, will be thrilled not only to find out that there is more than bulalo and menudo, but to also have a deeper understanding of Filipino food and its history, aided by Fernandez's ability to capture their senses through her vividly descriptive writing.

The only complaint I have with its re-release is that it appears to be sloppily revised. Without warning that "Tikim" is a collection of essays published under Fernandez's newspaper columns, her writing may be accused as very repetitive. There aren't any footnotes or updates on some of her more dated essays, and whether the local vinegar featured in the book is still available or not, the reader is up to know. Even in , several misspellings can still be found despite using more updated computer software than they did, pre-Windows Overall, however, this isn't Fernandez's fault.
