Award-winning chefs and historians trace how Filipino cuisine evolved through centuries of colonialism, unpacking a story of beauty, innovation, and cultural reclamation from a complicated history.
Synopsis:
In the Philippines, food and culture go hand in hand. Told through the voices of James Beard-recognized chefs and world-renowned historians, Kamayan charts the evolution of island cuisine from pre-colonial staples through centuries of Spanish rule and American occupation to the present day. It is an invitation for non-Filipinos to learn more about the beauty of the Philippines and a call to return home for those in the Filipino diaspora.
