Online cooking celebrities Erwann Heussaff and Ninong Ry have finally launched their much-awaited collaboration project, the cooking show “Fiesta in a Box.”

The show premiered under Heussaff’s FEATr YouTube channel yesterday, June 25, with celebrity couple Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos as their first guests.

FEATr describes ‘Fiesta in a Box’ as “an online reality competition featuring your favorite personalities that will battle in cooking the best fiesta dish. Everything they need and more, will be in a box.”

In the debut episode featuring Ramos and Garcia, the two try to re-create the Adobong Manok sa Gata (Chicken Adobo in Coconut Milk) dish from Marinduque’s Moriones Festival.

Aside from the actual cook-off, “Fiesta in a Box” also provides bits of facts and history about the chosen dish and the fiesta it hails from for the viewers.

Heussaff and Ninong Ry, whose real name is Ryan Morales Reyes, were also joined by chef Martin Narisima for the show.

Ninong Ry, who rose to fame on Facebook and YouTube for his fun and entertaining home cooking videos, first revealed to fans that Heussaff reached out to him for a project last March.  /ra
