Cooking class in English
Filipino Street Food - Vegetarian edition
with Minette De Asis & John Tubles
These dishes are inspired by the flavors of street foods in the Philippines and our travels in Southeast Asia.
The dishes in the region offer a spectrum of flavor profiles - pungent, tangy, sweet, creamy - and many are "accidentally" vegetarian or can be made without meat. Through this hands-on cooking class, participants will learn the basics of Philippine/ Southeast Asian flavors and preparations. Participants will be guided how to make spring rolls, eggplant omelets, peanut noodles, and other dishes that are not usually found in restaurants here. By the end of the class, we hope that participants will be a little more adventurous in their own kitchens when it comes to preparing Asian dishes.
Please note that this course does not include vegan options. Thank you for your understanding!
