Recenzii
"Tikim as tikman (verb) means to taste food or to try anything. Doreen Fernandez's literary essays on Philippine culinary and alimentary traditions are rightly fabled for their conjugations of tasting and trying in dazzling verbal arabesques. As assays at descriptions and critiques of Philippine cultural formations (assay is archaic form of 'essay') through sensorial samplings of Philippine cuisines, they themselves powerfully incarnate what Benedict Anderson once said of Philippine cultures as constituting ‘a pure mix’!"
—Oscar V. Campomanes, Department of English, Ateneo de Manila
"Doreen Fernandez was undisputedly one of the best storytellers of our lifetime of what Filipinos eat in their home country. Upon first reading of her essays, one gets introduced to the plot quickly and leaves you savoring every word she writes with meticulous efficiency to uncover layered meanings of culture that form the most basic theoretical foundation in understanding any cuisine. Enjoy the stories that fill these pages, read them many times and one day you will own the knowledge she wanted to share with us."
—Amy Besa, Co-Author of Memories of Philippine Kitchens: Stories and Recipes from Far and Near
"When their safe houses in Manila were no longer safe, the rebels took shelter at the airy bungalow of Doreen Gamboa Fernandez, a sugar planter’s daughter turned literature professor and food writer. (...) Then, while her guests recuperated by the pool in the cool shadow of a great acacia, she retreated to her desk and resumed the task of documenting the indigenous cooking traditions — scorned and ignored during centuries of colonialism — of an archipelago spanning more than 7,000 islands and nearly 200 languages. (...) Hers was a quiet act of subversion. She revolutionized Filipino food simply by treating it as what it is: a cuisine."
Ligaya Mishan, The New York Times, July 30, 2019.
"[T]his presents the opportunity to reexamine her work in the context of pressing issues today: disappearing species, the politics of foodways, street vendor economy, or even gender sensitivity, among others, all of which find space in 'Tikim.' (...) Fernandez did all of us a great service — by working hard to explore the multiple layers of Philippine food, culture, and history, she best explained what we mean by food that is ours. By infusing delight and rigor in her writing, she has inspired countless others to do the same. Her invaluable gift is to articulate our collective conscience about food, identity, representation, and power. It is up to us to listen to that conscience. Perhaps my only complaint now is how she has so inaptly titled her book 'Tikim.' When it comes to ingesting food and culture, Fernandez clearly gave us more than just a taste. She gave us a fierce, ravenous appetite."
