Richie Castillo is the chef behind Bahay, a Filipino pop-up
restaurant that he started and runs with his partner, Alex O'Neill.
Richie and Alex named Bahay after the Tagalog word for home while
the title of this, their first book - Masarap - means tasty in
Tagalog, the Filipino language. It's a nod to Bahay's
Irish-Filipino background, seeing as how blasta means tasty in
Irish. For Richie, this book was a catalyst for exploring and
connecting with his Filipino heritage. You'll find classic dishes
such as adobo, a range of exciting Filipino dishes and playful
recipes with Filipino flavours that highlight his experience
growing up eating Filipino food with Irish ingredients. Masarap is
the exploration of Filipino food through an Irish cultural lens and
a way to introduce more people to the food of the Philippines,
which is hugely underrepresented. Alex, a self-proclaimed food
lover who will try anything twice, is the storyteller in Bahay. She
loves taking Richie's ideas and fleshing them out into points of
view to create Bahay's story.
