Chef Anton Amoncio (rightmost) with Katrina Dumlao and Cyrinne Ellet Dela Cruz Chef Anton Amoncio (rightmost) with Katrina Dumlao and Cyrinne Ellet Dela Cruz Anton Amoncio is still in high spirits after participating in “Let It Snow,” a chef exchange program by the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence held in Calgary, Canada. It’s the first time a Filipino chef joined the exchange. His trip was made possible through the Culinary Exchange program of the Canada Beef Centre of Excellence in partnership with Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Anton, together with other world-renowned chefs, whipped up appetizing recipes using Canada beef. The week-long event was in celebration of the 150th founding anniversary of Canada. Three events were held at different Canadian luxury resorts, highlighting the seasons of Canada: At the Fairmont Banff Springs in early summer, Fairmont Royal York Toronto in harvest season, and Chateau Lake Louise for winter.  Anton’s visit to the famous Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is the finale of Canada Beef’s Canada 150 celebrations this year. Anton had his share of the limelight when he presented his own recipes using the best quality Canada beef: Beef Morcon Sliders, Bistek on Green Onion Blinis, and Beef Shortribs Sinigang in Green Mango. He proved once more that Filipino chefs are at par with the best of them when it comes to culinary artistry. Anton is a talent of Asian Artists Agency.
