“Food is life.” This is a common saying among foodies. Even when discussing technicalities, this statement is factual. For food indeed gives and sustains life. 

During the global pandemic, food was one of the things that has helped Filipinos earn extra money as they sell homemade goods online. It has also awakened their inner chefs as they tried out new recipes or dishes in the previous Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ). From Dalgona coffee to baked sushi, various food trends are bringing people together and helping them cope amid the health crisis.

So, how about professional chefs? Those who consistently handle food and create innovative dishes for a living. Individuals who make it their mission to provide the best meals and culinary experiences. What new recipes have they tried or are making often during the quarantine? And how have they been dealing with the impact of the pandemic? Here are five awesome Filipino chefs with their scrumptious creations and insightful realizations.
