Kulinarya participating chefs Glenda Barretto, Conrad Calalang, Myrna Segismundo, Jessie Sincioco, and Claude Tayag spoke about their experiences and insights on the process of putting the Kulinarya project together. ASPH also paid tribute to the late Chef Margarita Forés, who also contributed her invaluable time and expertise toward the cookbook.
Forés’ sisters, Veana and Bledes, were present to receive a special memento from ASPH.
Since its initial launch in 2008, Kulinarya has been given major accolades at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards and the Gintong Aklat Awards.
It figures prominently in kitchens and culinary schools throughout the Philippines. The third edition of Kulinarya was made possible through the support of the Department of Tourism, NutriAsia, Century Pacific Food Inc., and Anvil Publishing.
