Cora Cooks Pancit Review: Cora Cooks Panict- a warm and much shared memory for adults as well.. - Although "Cora Cooks Pancit" is likely to be viewed as a children's book by many, in truth it is much more than a children's story. For anyone who grew up in a Filipino family (I did not,though I am happily a part of one now) or who has made pancit or other Filipino dishes(I have) or simply grew up in a large, loving family, I believe that this book will feel more a memory from a childhood long ago than simply a child's story. Why? First, the author has wonderfully included shared memories from childhood- jobs given to older children, the longing by younger children to help, the chance to lick the spoon, etc. Secondly- the author has woven into the story specific details that authenticate the Filipino experience, e.g. lumpia and adobo, the size of the family and the names of the children,the description of the pancit pan, "salamat", the mother's experssion and reaction upon the spill, etc. More importantly is the inclusion of the reflections upon "Lolo"- his life as a boy in the Philippine countryside, his work with immigrant farm laborers, etc., all help to create a memory shared by many Filipinos today for cherished loved one long gone. Finally, the author's description of the creation of pancit is completely authentic and mirrors my own lessons from my Pinay wife- shredding chicken with a fork, soaking noodles, stirring in the ingredients, and finally sending carrots and mushrooms and chicken out of the all-to-full pot when stirring! I am sure I am not alone in these memories.. Lastly, illustrations in this book accurately and wonderfully capture the Filipino persona (appearance, expressions, stance, smiles) as I have come to know it. The illustrator has also captured other details- the Filipino flag side-by-side with the American flag on the refrigerator, the tsinellas on the family's feet, images of tropical fruit on the walls, spoons and forks, but no knives on the table, and lastly, Cora's look as she awaits the response from her family as they try the pancit. I am sure I had the same look as I presented my first pancit to family and friends! I recommend this book unconditionally to children of all agaes who still remember what it was like to gain new responsibilities within their family. Review: Beautiful book for kids - Great story with great illustrations with bonus recipe in the back! It has such warmth in the story of a little girl who wants to learn how to help in the kitchen like her older siblings. It is a great story that features a Filipino family and would be a wonderful addition to any kid's library. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #42,890 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in Children's Asian & Asian American Books #1,758 in Children's Family Life Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (499) | | Dimensions | 9 x 1 x 10.8 inches | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Grade level | Kindergarten - 4 | | ISBN-10 | 1885008481 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1885008480 | | Item Weight | 5.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2014 | | Publisher | Lee & Low Books | | Reading age | 5 - 9 years | ## Images ![Cora Cooks Pancit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MaPeOPsRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cora Cooks Panict- a warm and much shared memory for adults as well.. *by R***T on June 5, 2009* Although "Cora Cooks Pancit" is likely to be viewed as a children's book by many, in truth it is much more than a children's story.

It has such warmth in the story of a little girl who wants to learn how to help in the kitchen like her older siblings. It is a great story that features a Filipino family and would be a wonderful addition to any kid's library. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for any FIL AM *by A***R on August 7, 2020* Ah, for any fil am, this book is classic. My kids, ranging from 2 to 9, were delighted at hearing the word “Lolo” (because aren’t all lolos the best lolo ever?) and ecstatic at seeing printed illustrations of foods they have grown to love (lumpia, adobo and what looks like a cross between pancit canton and pancit bihon). The story is on point, from Cora sneaking bites of chicken while she shreds it, to the mom being low key upset when Cora makes a mess. This picture book is a must for any fil am. *BOOK TYPO: At the end of the glossary is the word TANGHON for Pinoy vermicelli. The correct word is SOTANGHON. And it makes for a delicious chicken sabaw. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/15176966-cora-cooks-pancit](https://www.desertcart.be/products/15176966-cora-cooks-pancit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
