Rex is a British-born Filipino chef, entrepreneur, content creator, and media personality. He built his professional career working with notable brands such as the Gordon Ramsay Group and briefly under Michelin-starred chef Simon Hulstone. His passion for Filipino cuisine gained him nationwide exposure as a grand finalist on Jamie Oliver's Channel 4 series, "The Great Cookbook Challenge."

In 2014, Rex hosted his first pop-up restaurant, marking the beginning of his mission to popularize modern Filipino cuisine in the UK. In 2016, he embarked on a culinary research expedition to the Philippines to gain a deeper understanding of Filipino food and culture. He established Turo Turo, a Filipino street food stall, and is now on his way to opening his first restaurant in London.

This will be Rex's first cookbook.
