Lazy Sundays mostly start with a late breakfast, and there is no substitute for the Aussie favourite Eggs Benny. In Episode Nine of the Australia Philippines Business Council’s YouTube production – A Taste of the Philippines, Australian renowned chef Adam Hall showcases his vegetarian version.
In Episode 10 we feature the Filipino favourite Bicol Express prepared by Luisa Brimble – author of Wild Adventure Cookbook.
Mushroom Eggs Benedict – Adam Hall – Author and Pastry and Sous Chef
Adam Hall fell in love with Filipino cuisine after visiting his wife’s family in the Philippines, and has spent his time learning more about its culture and food.
He is the founder of Kanin Project: something a little different to his usual content. It is a once-a-month popup showcasing the flavours of Filipino cuisine, complimented with Australian ingredients. It is run by Adam and his Filipino wife, whose passion is borne from many years travelling around the Philippines and studying the food.
In Episode 9, Adam showcases his version of a vegetarian Eggs Benny, substituting the traditional ham or salmon for mushrooms!
