and Jennifer Aranas, chef, teacher, and former owner of the nationally-acclaimed Rambutan Restaurant in Chicago who now spends her time as a food writer (The Filipino-American Kitchen) and cooking instructor.
The rise of interest in ethnic international dishes is incredible – I am sure this even was extremely popular. As the convenience foods market expands, the high commercial demand seems to have spawned lower-quality products.

I always would love to know how these great minds dominate the Philippine kitchen… Hope to get one of your creations, sirs and madamme!
