In contrast to the the Chinese recipes which were compiled by the authors the Korean and Filipino recipes are quite traditional and authentic and appear drawn from the authors' personal experience and families. The recipes include kim-chi Korean pickled cabbage Korean rice cake tteokbokki"kot-choo-jang jige" gochujang jjigae a spicy Korean paste made into a stew mando Mandu or Korean dumplings lechon Filipino roast pig adobo and Dinogo-An Filipino fried blood and organs of a pig. <br /> <br /> The authors graduated from UCLA in 1932 at the height of the Depression.

Labillardiere's account of the Tongans is among the best contributions to the ethnology of that people." Cox 69: "of considerable importance. . .
