A love letter to Filipino food 💚

Growing up in Southern California as a first-generation Filipino American, it wasn't until Woldy Reyes discovered the power of food as a means of connection to strangers and friends, to his heritage, and even to himself that he began cooking in earnest and sharing his story through the dishes he made. His signature style, now beloved by his catering clients in New York City and beyond, highlights classic Filipino food but with a focus on local, seasonal produce and artful presentation.

Find more than 100 recipes for classic Filipino dishes updated to be lighter, fresher, and vegetable-forward — Recipes that are uncomplicated yet taste complex.
