Common Questions
!) Why are we doing a Filipino-Mexico Menu? - Chef Gante grew up in The Philippines & we thought it would be fun to work with her on this series. Also, the Philippines & Mexico were colonized by Spain and were the main destinations of the Spanish Galleon Trade Routes in the Pacific. A lot of ingredients, techniques & names have been adopted between them.
II) What is Filipino Cuisine like? Super varied. With over 7000 islands and a history of trade and colonialism, it can be a little difficult to describe the cuisine. The 2 main influences are indigenous & Chinese cuisine but there is still plenty of influence from Spain, Mexico, India, Britain, The US & many more. This is really what makes it fun to dive into this cuisine filled with richness & variation.
