Tobias Fornier Trip Overview
Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a local beach resort with hosts Kim and Ken. Throughout Ken and Kim’s travels in Philippines, they could not find a place that reflected the true Filipino character, offered a unique menu, worked closely with the community, and felt warm and welcoming – so they decided to create their own, as a reflection of their ideal vacation! This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Your cooking class will take place in a resort kitchen where Kim and Ken will teach you how to make 2-3 Filipino dishes. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together in your host’s beach resort.

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Unlike a typical Traveling Spoon experience that takes place in a home, this unique experience with Kim and Ken takes place at their resort on a beach that houses a bamboo restaurant, organic garden, and guesthouses. Start with a tour of Kim and Ken’s organic garden and learn to identify ingredients used in provincial Filipino cuisine. Next join Ken and Kim in their open kitchen where everybody can clearly watch what Ken and his team are doing. You will cook together for 2 hours as you learn to break down a whole fish, chicken or pork and prepare it in various ways, focusing on minimizing waste. For example, you might learn how to fillet a fish and grill it over wood fire, then use the bones to make sinigang (sour soup), and the remaining meat to make kinilaw (ceviche). Vegetables, edible flowers and herbs used in each dish are either harvested from their own garden, their relatives’ garden or the local market.
Sample Menu
• Fish soup with garden vegetables
• Kinilaw – marinated raw fish in citrus, herbs and spices from their own garden, home made vinegar from fermented langgaw harvested from their coconut trees
• Marinated fish filet grilled over wood fire
• Coconut pudding with fresh fruit, latik, edible flowers
