Millennium Cooking Philippines marks AXN Asia’s latest original production in the country and will pit four inexperienced millennials against one another in a series of cook-offs.

The contestants will be challenged to recreate dishes demonstrated by three professional chefs, who will explain the whole process in their native languages.

Those set to take part include actor Raphael Robes, advertising and creative freelancer Michelle Yu, entrepreneur and motovlogger Katrice Kierulf and corporate executive Sonnie Guerrero.

Set to debut on September 9, the six-part series was filmed at a kitchen showroom at IKEA Pasay City and comes from AXN Asia-owner KC Global Media Entertainment, the brainchild of former Sony executives Andy Kaplan and George Chien.

Presented by IKEA, the series will also be available on the AXN Asia YouTube channel worldwide.

It joins English-language general entertainment channel AXN Asia’s other productions in the Philippines such as My Hometown Is G.O.A.T and Project Go.
