His presence in the Philippines was made possible by CCA Manila through its partnership with the
Institut Disciples Escoffier (ICDE). Chef Caillon did various cooking demonstrations and one-on-
one interaction with the students who are undergoing the French cuisine flagship program of CCA-
ICDE held at CCA Makati campus.
“The CCA-ICDE program is unique and truly world-class as it is the most authentic program on
French cuisine. The fact that we are bringing in top chefs from all over the world is a proof that we
want to expose our students to the best of the culinary world,” said Badjie Trinidad, CEO of CCA
Manila.

The ongoing CCA-ICDE program already has a promising start. Just recently, the pioneer batch—
consisting of professionals and students from diverse backgrounds—was honored via formal
commencement rites. Each graduate was presented with three diplomas—the Escoffier Grand
Diploma in Culinary Arts from ICDE, the National Diploma in French Cuisine from the French
Ministry of Education (both of which are internationally recognised certifications) and a diploma in
French Cuisine from CCA Manila.

During the exclusive dinner for the media and friends of CCA, Chef Caillon worked his magic with
four sumptuous dishes together with his sous chef at Le Kintessence, Jerome Fitour. The famed fine
dining restaurant in Corchevel, France received its Michelin stars early this year for the quality of its
produce, the creativity of its cuisine and the level of service in the restaurant.
According to Tootlafrance, "in this intimate haven dedicated to top-level gastronomy, Jean Remi
Caillon unveils elegant, inspired cuisine. His creations pay homage to seasonal produce selected with
the greatest of care."
The chefs together with the French Cuisine program students of CCA-ICDE had their classes and
the exclusive dinner right inside the kitchen, making the chef's table experience wonderfully
engaging and practical.

What inspires you both in the kitchen and out?
My family is my number one inspiration. In the kitchen, I’m always inspired to work with my fellow

chefs, butchers and stewards. For me, they are the unsung heroes who make every meal pleasurable
and delicious. The brotherhood and camaraderie we have as a team complement each individual’s
passion and dedication. Hence, enable us to create culinary masterpieces. Those are the same
reasons why we can keep up with long hours of work in the kitchen.
What do you cook for yourself when you are at home?
At home, I go for traditional Filipino food. Simple yet satisfying.
What are your favourite ingredients?
I love aromatics – garlic, onion, shallots, lemongrass, bay leaf and ginger as these ingredients bring
distinct dimension or flavour to any dish. Of course I can’t leave salt and pepper behind as these two
harmonize everything on the plate.
What would you like to tell people when they are eating your food?
I always emphasize that most ingredients we use are locally sourced. Thus, we are able to use fresh
ingredients on almost all the dishes we prepare. We are also strong supporters of sustainable
seafood and the use of heirloom rice because it supports our local industry.

What challenges have you encountered in the F&B industry that have made an impact on you?
The rising cost of quality ingredients and transporting these to the provinces such as those situated
in resorts, just like us, are some of the challenges that affect our everyday operations.
Who is your ideal person to cook for? Why?
I would say cooking for another chef is something that excites me. The pressure allows me to
become more creative because I know I’ll be cooking for someone who knows food very well.

Do you have any other projects you are working on?
I’m currently working on our third restaurant outlet and roof bar lounge as part of the property
expansion of Discovery Shores Boracay. Both outlets will open next year.
Do you have a favourite food or type of food that you like to eat?
Tocino and sinigang soup are my top favourites. I also love eating savoury food items that have a
dash of sweetness.
