A Taste of Guam

Recipes are mostly common recipes found in just about any cookbook. I expected recipes for Chamorro favorites. This was a waste of money for recipes that I can get anywhere. But, I believe that the title is accurate in that there were several references to dishes of Guam. Disappointing!!!

Received this Guam cook book today. Very neat to see some of the native recipes in here. It is a little smaller than I anticipated and I thought maybe the cook book would have incorporated stories inside of the natives and culture but it did not. I am originally from Guam, born there because my dad was in the navy. We now live in the United States so this book is a gift for my father for Christmas to remember his time there and the food he ate.we are foodies. Hehe It's nice to have this as a remembrance to where I came from. Excited to try some recipes out! :)

LVE IT!!! If you have ever been to Guam, USA - where America's day begins; you know about fiestas and village gatherings where everyone brings a dish along with an open spit cooked pig. Chicken keloquin, red rice, and so many delicious dishes; this is an example of what you can expect to be the norm on Guam dinner tables if you have never been to Guam. If you have been to Guam like myself; this brought back so many memories. Excellent book and I do recommend it. I just wished it was more supplied with the various other recipes that are not listed.

My husband is from Guam, and i really wanted to be able to cook him some dishes from his childhood. He has taught me how to cook a few dishes, but there are some in the book I can't wait to try. I wish there were pictures though, so that I could compare my finish product to it. That way I can know I was some what on the right track. Lol

I use this book to make a lot of my Chamorro dishes. I just don't follow the measurements because it really doesn't taste anything like what my cousins make.

Taste of Guam is theeeee perfect gift to those you love who are far from home! It’s the perfect gift for military families, college students, friends, etc., who have left Guam/Saipan and miss home cooked island food flavor!!!

I can not wait to start to make some of these recipes. YUM!

I miss the fiestas on GUAM. I was station at Polaris Pt in the Navy. This brings back memories of the fiestas. Thank you Paula.

I got this after seeing Guam style food on a TV show, and thinking it looked a bit different and interesting. This book did not meet expectations because it was pretty lightweight for the price, and a big section is American recipes anyway. Also a lot of the recipes are for desserts - not a problem in its-self, but I wish I had known this before I bought it, as I don't eat desserts.

子供時代にグアム行った時は料理に興味なかったけれど、大人になった今買えて料理楽しめる1冊だと思います
