Fernandez (1934-2002) was born in Manila, but grew up in her native Silay in Negros Occidental, which shaped her rural and regional sensibilities. She earned a BA in English and History at St. Scholastica’s College in 1954 and an MA and PhD in Literature at the Ateneo de Manila University, with the poet Bienvenido Lumbera as her advisor. She married the interior architect Wili Fernandez, and it was when she and Wili were invited to co-write a newspaper column in 1968 on food that Doreen Fernandez’s thirty-four-year career as a food writer began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-w-id=\"4ac47695-6a21-de94-b48e-73dec64d9434\" data-wf-id='[\"4ac47695-6a21-de94-b48e-73dec64d9434\"]' data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-author-biography-text-input\" data-palette=\"Paragraph\"\u003eEdilberto N.
