You can now feast on famous Filipino food or "pagkaing Pinoy" recipes, whether you are a Filipino or non-Filipino and wherever you happen to be currently located in the world. At the lutong bahay website, Filipino food recipes are made available online and can even be downloaded. Be aware, though, that the lutong bahay website is different from lutong pinoy.com.
The people who do not know enough about Filipino dishes and have likely not yet feasted on them are non-Filipinos. Filipinos living in countries other than the Philippines may also have Filipino dishes that they have not yet tried, though. Actually, even locals in the Philippines surely have Filipino recipes they have never tasted.
Any of the dishes classified as Filipino lutong bahay foods can most probably be accessed at the lutong bahay website. It presents a wide range of Pilipino cuisine, covering everything from Pinoy breakfast recipes and viands or lutong ulam recipes to snacks or merienda recipes. The free recipes are paired with matching pictures from the Philippines.
Filipinos have always been associated with good cooking and hearty feasting. Anywhere they are in the world, they make it a point to celebrate special occasions by eating together, inviting non-Filipino friends, as well. There are innumerable Filipino dishes that can be served under Filipino or Pinoy cooking. Many of the Philippine or Pilipino foods recipes may have originated from the Spanish and American eras, or introduced by the early Chinese settlers, but they have all been adjusted to the unique Filipino palate by generations of use. While the traditional recipes remain, there have also been many variations and spin off dishes created out of them. For instance, the Philippine adobo dish has so many styles of cooking that they have filled not just one adobo cookbook. There are indeed so many Filipino dishes that can be feasted on.
The Filipino terms "mga lutong Pinoy" and "lutong Pilipino" refer to Filipino cooking, and the terms "mga lutong bahay" and "lutuing bahay" refer to home cooked food. When perusing the online selection of lutong bahay free recipes or lutong Pinoy free recipes from the Philippines visitors will have access to the best healthy and easy Filipino foods recipes. Even those who are too busy to cook from scratch can opt to use the Mama Sita recipes which feature convenient ready mixes for making traditional Filipino recipes.
A lutong Pinoy menu can combine regional favorites like Ilocano, Pampanga, Tagalog and Visayan foods, dishes and recipes. Examples are the Batangas bulalo recipe of Batangas province; the pancit chami recipe of Lucena, Quezon; and the pigar pigar recipe of Dagupan, Pangasinan. These can be paired with vegetable dishes like sinigang sa bayabas, sinigang sa miso, ginisang togue and a saluyot recipe.
There are also Filipino food recipes using only fish and seafood, such as the seafood kare kare recipe, the popular sweet and sour lapu - lapu recipe, the Spanish sardines recipe, the rellenong pusit recipe, the ginataang tilapia recipe and the crab Maritess recipe. These days, you need not find a palayok or earthen pot in which to cook the ginataang tilapia recipe, though.
You will also find other free Filipino recipes at lutong bahay, such as a Jollibee style spaghetti recipe, a siopao sauce recipe, a hopia recipe, a sylvanas recipe and the best ube chiffon cake recipe. In addition to sweets, though, you can also serve fresh fruits like the sweet lanzones available at the Lanzones Festival 2010 in October.
