In the Kusina: My Seasonal Filipino Cooking by Woldy Reyes

A brightly flavourful, artfully presented celebration of chef and tastemaker Woldy Reyes’ heritage, featuring more than 100 recipes for classic Filipino dishes updated to be lighter, fresher, and vegetable-forward.

Growing up in Southern California as a first-generation Filipino American, Woldy Reyes felt like an outsider, always straddling two worlds. At home, his family ate adobo with rice, gathered in the kitchen to roll lumpia, and roasted a whole goat in the backyard to make kalderetang kambing (celebratory goat stew). At school, all he wanted was Lunchables and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. It wasn’t until he discovered the power of food as a means of connection―to strangers and friends, to his heritage, and even to himself―that he began cooking in earnest and sharing his story through the dishes he made. His signature style, now beloved by his catering clients in New York City and beyond, highlights classic Filipino food but with a focus on local, seasonal produce and artful presentation.

In the Kusina is Woldy’s story told through a collection of vibrant, vegetable-forward recipes and his distinct lens as a queer Filipino American. These aren’t your lola’s traditional dishes; here, Filipino tastes and techniques are reimagined for a new generation of home cooks, resulting in a trove of elegant and boldly flavourful recipes organised by season, including:

  • Garlic Furikake Rice with Fried Egg
  • Purple Daikon, Coconut Labneh, and Peanut Salsa Toast
  • Oyster Mushroom Skewers with Mushroom BBQ Sauce
  • Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Miso Tahini and Pomegranate Seeds
  • Decadent hot and cold drinks, luscious desserts, and much more

Sugared and Peppered Plum Galette
Sugared and Peppered Plum Galette

Sugared and Peppered Plum Galette excerpted from Galette! by Rebecca Firkser (Artisan Books). Copyright © 2025. Photographs by Jessica Marx.

The genius galette—unfussy, easy to make, and fully customisable—is presented in 50 mouthwatering recipes in a book that every baker needs in their library. 

The galette is a rustic, free-form tart. It requires a few simple ingredients, and minimal equipment, meaning that with some pantry basics, a home cook can put one together for no more than the cost of fresh (or frozen!) produce. A galette can be sweet or savoury, filled with any imaginable combination of fruits or veggies, meats, cheeses, and spices. Great for a party, they can be prepared in advance, but they also come together quickly when you’re in a pinch—and galettes can be made year-round with whatever produce is available.

Galette! celebrates this humble pastry, offering easy-to-follow and customisable recipes. With one basic crust recipe, endless galette possibilities are within reach. Incorporate summer’s bounty into a galette with peaches and granola or use pantry items in a galette with marinated artichokes and tomatoes. Brown-Buttered Apples and Honey, rolled out and baked like a slab pie, is the perfect dessert for a crowd, while individual Lemony Spinach and Rice galettes work well for a family dinner.

No matter the filling, galettes are the ideal, foolproof bake for home cooks. (more…)
