FILIPINO FOOD ANTHROPOLOGY LECTURE & SUNSET DINNER
November 9 at 4:00pm
Eastwood City, Libis
Libis, 1110 Quezon City, Philippines
Organized by Pia Lim-Castillo in close collaboration with Chef Jesse Sincioco, a lecture on Filipino food anthropology will be given by Dr. Fernando Zialcita, a doctor of anthropology at the Ateneo de Manila University, with a focus on the “invisibility” of our culinary heritage, even to us. The lecture will be followed by a plated Filipino dinner which will be accompanied by a commentary by Chef Jessie, who is well-known for her excellent food presentation, on how to plate or present aesthetically pleasing dishes. The event will be held at Chef Jessie’s 100 Revolving Restaurant in Eastwood City, which offers diners a rotating 360-degree view from the building’s 33rd floor.
About the CHOP logo:
The idea is to make the Association relevant and appealing to present time. This is about history but it should inspire the future of Philippine cuisine as well. Hence, the very clean and fresh design.
The “festive” palayok represents the colorful history of Philippine cuisine, all the influences mixed together to cook something truly unique, done for community, for sharing, building relationship.
The colors came from 3 primary colors: Red, Yellow, Blue – representing the 3 objectives of CHOP which are to study, promote, and help preserve the history and heritage of Philippine cuisine and culinary customs and traditions; to implement culinary-based advocacy programs targeting marginalized segments of society; and to include in its future programs the study of the cuisines of other countries worldwide.
The design is minimal and controlled, like in cooking, it is not what you can add more of, but the purity of ingredients.
Thanks to John Leyson for designing our CHOP logo for the Culinary Historians of the Philippines. We love your design and meaning behind it.
