About the tutor

Food and storytelling sit at the heart of Kristina Naray’s life practice as a cook, host and cultural storyteller, of mixed Bisaya Subanen Filipino and Hungarian heritage. Kristina grew up eating a mix of both cuisines, learning traditional techniques from both sides of her heritage. She holds a Bachelor of Health Sciences, majoring in Nutrition and Health Promotion, with her career spanning community nutrition education, and digital health in the healthcare sector, to hosting intimate pop-up lunches and dinners, and teaches cooking workshops, where she shares dishes and practices passed down from her family and communities.

Kristina is also part of The Entree Pinays, a collective of entrepreneurial Filipinas introducing Filipino cuisine, culture and community to Australia. Each dish she shares celebrates pre-colonial Filipino foodways often dismissed as provincial farmers’ food, despite being among the most nourishing, sustainable, and culturally rich practices in the Philippines.

This program is supported by Neighbourhood Houses Victoria.
