The leading English-language general entertainment channel AXN (Cignal Ch 121, SKYcable HD Ch 247, SKYcable SD Ch 49, GSAT Ch 57, and various provincial cable operators nationwide) as well as AXN Asia’s YouTube channel will debut Millennium Cooking Philippines on September 9, Friday at 8.20 PM (PHT), according to KC Global Media Asia. The most recent of AXN Asia’s local original productions in the Philippines, Millennium Cooking Philippines follows My Hometown Is G.O.A.T. (2021) and Project GO (2020).

In a series of cook-offs, four inexperienced millennials will compete against one another at Millennium Cooking Philippines, hosted by actor and well-known restaurateur Matteo Guidicelli. The illiterate contestants will be asked to recreate dishes that three professional chefs will present. The chefs will explain every step in their native tongue, adding to the chaos in the kitchen and completing a recipe for disaster!

The largest IKEA shop in the world, IKEA Pasay City, is where Millennium Cooking Philippines, presented by IKEA, was filmed in the kitchen showroom. Along with Php 25,000 in cash, a unique AXN Millennium Cooking trophy, and Php 75,000 worth of IKEA furniture, the competition’s winner will also receive these items.

Actor Raphael Robes, advertising and creative freelancer Michelle Yu, businesswoman and motovlogger Katrice Kierulf, and corporate executive Sonnie Guerrero are the contenders for the title of greatest cook among the kitchen novices.

In the elimination rounds, the contestants will be eliminated by Austrian Chef Norbert Gandler, Co-Founder and Executive Director for Culinary Education at the International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management, and Korean Chef Lily MIn, author of K-Drama Cookbook (2020) and the businesswoman behind Lily Lab Authentic K Food. The IKEA Pasay City Food Manager and Swedish Chef Andy Andersson will preside over the final round of cook-offs.

A new episode of Millennium Cooking Philippines will air each Friday at 8.20 PM on AXN for 6 episodes. After each episode’s television premiere, it will be posted to the AXN Asia YouTube channel for one hour.
