Join Filipino chef Rex De Guzman on a culinary tour through the vibrant cuisine of the Philippines, where salty, sour and sweet combine to create bold dishes bursting with flavour. Savour delicious ribbons of barbecued pork, heaped bowls of garlic rice billowing with fragrant steam and neon vegetables pickled in sour vinegar, all finished off with melt-in-the-mouth condensed milk crème caramel.

From the classics like Chicken Adobo and Charred Aubergine Omelette to adaptations for the everyday kitchen like Roasted Cauliflower and Peanut Stew with Miso and Harissa, Kamayan is your ultimate guide to Filipino cooking.
