Renowned chef and entrepreneur Gene Gonzalez takes his decades-long culinary wisdom online through his upcoming digital show “Feel at Home with Chef Gene” on FYE Channel via the kumu app beginning Friday, May 7, at 9 pm.
The founder of Center for Asian Culinary Studies and one of Manila’s finest restaurant Café Ysabel said the show seeks to provide answers for people’s unanswered cooking queries due to their fear of being tagged as ‘naïve’ or ‘ignorant’ in the kitchen.
“’Feel at Home’ is not exactly cooking tutorials, it’s how items at home or regular items from the supermarket or online shopping can be an enhanced experience,” Chef Gene explained.
