Jay visits London to flame cook with Filipino Chef Rex de Guzman and her teenage idol, actress Bangs Garcia while scientist Big Manny explains The Maillard Reaction.

What happens when you hold food to flame? It鈥檚 time to find out how a bit of fire can make your food delicous! Jay Behrouzi joins Filipino chef Rex de Guzman in London to cook his version of Chicken Inasal, a grilled delicacy from the Visayan region of the Philippines.

She next heads to Wokingham to meet her teenage idol, Filipina actress Bangs Garcia who lets us in on why she left a successful celebrity career in the Philippines behind while cooking her recipe of pork lumpia - a spring roll that steals the show at any buffet table.
