Filipino cuisine, culture & community.
We are The Entree.Pinays - a collective of entrepreneurial Filipinas introducing Filipino cuisine, culture, and community to the hearts, minds, and tastebuds of Australians on Wurundjeri country.
Our group believes that the unique flavours of our Motherland are still under-represented in Australia, despite it being home to over 290,000 people of Filipino heritage; the fifth largest group of Australians born overseas, and the third largest Asian group after Chinese and Indians (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2019).
Along with a community of talented chefs, creatives and collaborative partners, we’re working together to change this.
“
“Put together a multi-talented group of food-passionate Filipinas, and you have The Entree.Pinays. Your go-to source of everything you need to know about Filipino cuisine, right here, in Australia.”
— Yvonne C Lam, Digital Editor, Gourmet Traveller
“When you think of Pinoy Pride— or should I say Pinay Pride— The Entree.Pinays is it. It is incredible that this women-founded and women-led organization is not only spotlighting Filipino culture and cuisine in Australia, but also working to make it front and center mainstream.”
– Cheryl Tiu, Journalist, Founder - Cross Cultures & TasteHunter for World's 50 Best
"The Entrée.Pinays brings the best of Filipino food and community to Australia. These young and successful Filipinas understand the history of their distinct palates and know how to celebrate them."
– H.E. Ma. Hellen B. De La Vega, Philippine Ambassador
“The Entree.Pinays are a tour de force who bring a sense of fun, passion, professionalism and a collaborative spirit to everything they do. They are immensely proud of their heritage and in showcasing the depth and diversity of Filipino cuisine and its culture to a wider audience.”
– Zenon Misko, Industry Engagement Manager, Melbourne Food & Wine Festival
