This item was donated by Angela Dimayuga. Thank you, Angela Dimayuga

A pair of cute fruit plates, one cherry and one tomato, made by artist Alyssa Piro. These plates were used as props in Angela's cookbook Filipinx: Heritage Recipes from the Diaspora. This lot also includes a signed copy of Filipinx: Heritage Recipes from the Diaspora. Filipinx offers 100 deeply personal recipes, many of them dishes that define home for Angela Dimayuga and the more than four million people of Filipino descent in the United States. The book tells the story of how Dimayuga grew up in an immigrant family in northern California, trained in restaurant kitchens in New York City, learning to make everything from bistro fare to Asian-American cuisine, then returned to her roots, discovering in her family's home cooking the same intense attention to detail and technique that she found in fine dining.
