I just arrived from NYC and was eager to experience more about the Filipino culture. Taking this cooking class with Chil was a great way to begin. She was informative, kind and taught us a lot, not just cooking skills but about the history of the food and how it is such an important part of the Filipino culture. And the food was amazing. Can't wait to go back to the USA and share this with my friends and family.
Chyl was such a delight! She has a warm, welcoming personality. She had our cooking stations and ingredients set up upon our arrival. While we were chopping, prepping, sautéing, etc she was chatting with us and educating us on Filipino cuisine and culture. The recipes were easy to follow and will be simple to replicate at home. The dishes were yummy and my kids enjoyed making theirs as well. If you like to cook and want to learn about Filipino staples, you should definitely book this class!
Chyl was such an amazing teacher! All of the food is delicious and can’t wait to make this back in the US. Highly recommend!
A wonderful cooking class. I highly recommend this when visiting Manila. Chyl was a fantastic teacher.
Highly recommend! Chyl was patient, informative and friendly. I enjoyed the class and so happy I now have these recipes to do at home. Thank you
Chyl was an excellent instructor! She was very informative, very helpful and most importantly very patient!! She made the class very fun, I really enjoyed it!
Everything was organized well and Chyl was good at giving instructions and answering questions. Food was yummy and portions were big, I couldn't finish half of it. I enjoyed the class.
Take a cooking class, it's the best souvenir you can give yourself and it lasts your lifetime and you can share it with others. I enjoyed my cooking class with Cheryl. She was very through on explaining everything. I was the only person in the class and she was graceful enough not to cancel. I recommend this cooking class, have fun and learn to make yummy things!
Chil was really sweet and kind. We were running late due to traffic and she worked with us. She made cooking fun and felt like family when we were done. There was a lot of food - we had left overs for later. Great with instructions and just over all fun way to learn Filipino culture. Inwouldncooknwithbherbagain, anytime.
My son and I had a wonderful time learning to cook 3 Filipino snacks. Chyl was a great communicator with simple instructions to create savory and sweet treats. The class is held in an outdoor courtyard which had a nice breeze adding to a great cooking experience.
