Chef JP Anglo leads the way in culinary innovation as Takumi Master
Chef JP Anglo has always found ways to honor Filipino flavors while reimagining how they are prepared. His recent collaboration with Toshiba as their Takumi Master for Culinary features how thoughtful cooking meets well-designed tools—and how the right equipment can support better food stories.
At Sarsa in Makati and through his work abroad, JP has shown how Filipino food carries its own unique identities and rich memories. His style sticks to tradition, but with a clear, focused twist. He also believes food should stay connected to its roots while still making room for innovation.
“Great food starts with great tools. As a chef, I rely on consistency and control, which is why I’m proud to partner with Toshiba because great kitchen tools make all the difference in creating amazing and memorable food,” the kitchen master says.
That same clarity comes through in his kitchen preferences. For chefs, the small details make all the difference—temperature, timing, and consistency shape every dish. While style and trends also matter, precision and confidence in every step are more important.
“I have always emphasized craftsmanship in cooking,” JP shares. “And that requires appliances that mirror this level of care. Toshiba’s precision and performance give me the confidence to experiment, knowing I’ll always have reliability in the kitchen.”
Craftsmanship ties his cooking style to appliances built for precision. For him, paying attention to detail is part of the job—and also something he lives by every day. It’s a habit, a mindset, and part of how he works.
Filipino cuisine deserves this kind of attention, he underscores. And for home cooks, it’s a reminder that preparing local dishes with intention also means choosing tools that respect the process. JP adds, “In every dish, there’s purpose. That’s what makes the difference between good food and something unforgettable.”
Precision and intention are the words that describe Chef JP’s work with Toshiba, and these are the same qualities anyone passionate about cooking can relate to.
