Regional Filipino Cuisine (RFC)
Cook the Philippines. Region by Region.
In just 4 days, master authentic dishes from 16 regions of the country, while learning techniques that honor tradition and elevate Filipino flavors.
Most Filipino dishes are learned at home—but rarely taught in structured, professional kitchens. The result? Hit-or-miss execution, gaps in knowledge, and recipes that lose their authenticity when scaled for business.
This course was designed to change that:
- Confidence to cook authentic regional dishes
- Techniques to elevate recipes without losing their roots
- Cultural appreciation through hands-on immersion
Who This Program is For
- Chefs & culinary students who want to expand beyond global cuisines and master Filipino heritage
- Entrepreneurs building menus or food businesses rooted in local flavors
- Food lovers & home cooks who want structured training in regional Filipino cooking

Success Stories
“A lot of my core values and knowledge as a chef and most especially, my love for food, comes from my two years of studying at CCA, Manila. I learned how to persevere in my chosen career and to never give up when faced with tough challenges. Since learning is a never-ending process, there's always something new to discover so I should never stop researching, honing my craft and innovating in the kitchen.”
“My family sent me to Manila to study culinary. What my CCA family taught me was to conquer the world with my cuisine.”
“I researched for schools until I came across CCA Manila. And, I saw a couple of chefs that graduated from there. So I figured that they must have a good curriculum. That is why I decided to go down that path. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It gave you the basics. It gave you the confidence that you would go into any kitchen and if someone asked you to do this, you would immediately recognize what it is because of the teachings that were done in school.”
