In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month we are excited to be cooking in tandem with Chef Aisha Ibrahim, formerly of Canlis in Seattle, Washington. Aisha Ibrahim was born in Iligan City located in the Philippines southernmost island, Mindanao. She immigrated to the U.S. at the age of six and remained connected to her heritage through her parents and grandparents’ cooking. She launched her career in 2006 relocating to the Bay Area after leaving a college basketball scholarship to pursue cooking full time. Throughout her career, she has spent time at some of the best kitchens in the world including Commis, Manresa, Azurmendi, Kagurazaka Ishikawa, L’effervescence, & Nihonryori Ryugin. Ibrahim accepted the Executive Chef position at Canlis Restaurant in April 2021. In 2023, she was recognised as a Food & Wine Best New Chef in its 35th class. In 2024 she was named to the North American panel in the San Pellegrino Young Chef Competition as well as North America’s global mentor for the upcoming international competition in Milan, Italy later this year. In October 2024, she was named to TIME Magazine’s prestigious 100 NEXT —a list of emerging global leaders who are shaping and redefining the next generation of leadership. In November of 2024, she was also named to Robb Report’s “Ten Rising Power Players in American Fine Dining”. A bit of insight on her very own new upcoming restaurant: Unlike the rest of Filipino cuisine, Mindanaoan cuisine utilizes spices common to Southeast Asia such as turmeric, galangal, coriander, lemongrass, cinnamon, chillies, and the leaves or zest of native citrus. The cuisine of the indigenous ethnolinguistic south is rich and spice-based reflecting the history and pride in the Philippines most diverse island. With a strong use of coconut milk and spice pastes, it distinguishes itself clearly from the rest of the Philippines. We offer a multi-course tasting menu for $259 per person.
