Historical Cookbook Call for Recipes and Stories. Some of our most memorable experiences are related to the scent and taste of that one favorite family dish. FANHS Seattle would like to share those memories and recipes in our 2015 historical cookbook. Do you have a recipe of significance to your family? What is the story or memory associated with that recipe? Is it an old family recipe from the Philippines that was adapted to the ingredients available to the greater Seattle area? Or was it a recipe your family gave a Filipino twist? To submit your recipe and story, fill out our online form.

FANHS Seattle Ongoing Call for Writers. We are looking for your stories. The website is open to any form of writing or media content related to Filipino Americans.

Do you remember an experience that affected you or your community? In your opinion, what are 3-5 points, places, or people of Filipino American History that you feel are essential to know?
