Event: The New Filipino Kitchen Book Tour

I am blessed to have several different friend groups in NYC, but it is even better when they come together to celebrate a fun event. I covered the NYC launch party of the The New Filipino Kitchen with a bunch of new and old friends.

Enough about me and more about the book.

The New Filipino Kitchen is the first Global Filipino cookbook anthology that collects 30 recipes and stories from expat Filipinos around the world - chefs, home cooks, and writers - who are preserving their food memories and tweaking their recipes to work in new environments. With contributions from the White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford, Bocuse d’Or Europe 2018 winner Christian André Pettersen, 2015 MasterChef New Zealand runner-up Leo Fernandez, five-time Palanca Award winner and poet Francis Macansantos, and the “Food Buddha” Rodelio Aglibot, this is a multifaceted, nuanced introduction to the world of Filipino food and culture.

Thank you to everyone who came out!
