Praise for Teaspoons
“Another type of love language is the act of making and sharing food, which is an expression most Filipinos have mastered. Pangasinense poet, Noreen Ocampo, brings the reader on a lyrical journey on how love prevails in any (and all) food establishments. From mothers muttering prayers to melting at the pretty pretzel girl’s ‘thank you,’ this acts of service infused with food love language is made even more tender by Ocampo’s gentle voice.”
—Keana Aguila Labra, editor-in-chief of Marías at Sampaguitas and author of No Saints and Natalie
