Pinoy History and Culture TOl Through Every Bite of Tinapay Natin. An annual bread baking competition that celebrates and honors the colorful tradition of Filipino bread-making.
Over the years, Pinoy bread has become a reflection of our identity, and our people's history and affinity for food. Different bread variants, from the humble pan de sal to the merienda-favorite ensaimada, have become household staples and have played witnesses to countless family and community gatherings.
Calling Culinary Students and Passionate Home Bakers
Apart from the participants technical skills, the individual stories of their bread entries will be an important component in selecting this year's winner. "We are a country who has had a long history of enjoying bread. Even in Max's Corner Bakery and Max's Restaurant, the first meal we offered was fried chicken with dinner rolls. It is our hope then that through this competition, our young participants will be able to share the unique story of their bread creations. We want to know the inspiration, the struggles and the hard work put into making it," shares Ariel P Fermin, Chief Operating Officer of Max's Corner Bakery and Max's Restaurant.
Tristan Aboitiz, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Pilmico, adds, "The entries that we received from last year's Tinapay Natin competition opened our eyes to the many colorful stories that go with each bread product, and this is a testament of how rich our local bread culture is. We hope that with this competition, we are able to encourage the public to keep the bread-making tradition alive, promote creativity & innovation among Filipino bakers, and of course support the local bread industry just as much as we and Max's Corner Bakery do."
