Private, Sustainable Farm-to-Table Cooking Experience in an Organic 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.
