BM Freshly Brewed

Food is more than nourishment—it is a reflection of culture, history, and identity. Across the Philippines, many traditional recipes and culinary practices remain undocumented, quietly preserved in family kitchens and passed down through generations through memory and experience.

As communities evolve and modern lifestyles reshape the way we cook and eat, an important question emerges: How do we preserve these stories before they disappear?

In this episode of Freshly Brewed, Clang Garcia—author, food heritage advocate, and Philippine Ambassador to the World Food Travel Association—joins BusinessMirror Wine and Dine Editor Anne Ruth Dela Cruz for a fascinating conversation about the award-winning Secret Kitchens of Samar book series.

Together, they explore the recipes, traditions, and communities that make Samar's culinary heritage unique, and discuss why documenting food culture is vital to preserving history for future generations.
