'A beautiful, flavour-packed introduction to Filipino food, Rex's cooking is fresh, vibrant and very delicious.’ Jamie Oliver
Order the first cookbook from Rex de Guzman, chef, restaurateur and finalist on The Great Cookbook Challenge with Jamie Oliver now and make vibrant, irresistible Filipino recipes at home.
Join Filipino chef Rex De Guzman on a culinary tour through the vibrant cuisine of the Philippines, where salty, sour, and sweet combine to create bold dishes bursting with flavour. Savour delicious ribbons of barbecued pork, heaped bowls of garlic rice billowing with fragrant steam, and neon vegetables pickled in sour vinegar, all finished off with melt-in-the-mouth condensed milk crème caramel.
From classics like Chicken Adobo and Charred Aubergine Omelette to adaptations for the everyday kitchen like Roasted Cauliflower and Peanut Stew with Miso and Harissa, Kamayan is your ultimate guide to Filipino cooking.

About the Author
Rex is a British-born Filipino chef, entrepreneur, content creator, and media personality. He built his professional career working with notable brands such as the Gordon Ramsay Group and briefly under Michelin-starred chef Simon Hulstone. His passion for Filipino cuisine gained him nationwide exposure as a grand finalist on Jamie Oliver’s Channel 4 series, "The Great Cookbook Challenge."
In 2014, Rex hosted his first pop-up restaurant, marking the beginning of his mission to popularize modern Filipino cuisine in the UK. In 2016, he embarked on a culinary research expedition to the Philippines to gain a deeper understanding of Filipino food and culture. He established Turo Turo, a Filipino street food stall, and is now on his way to opening his first restaurant in London.
This will be Rex’s first cookbook.
