Three of us went for Haute Halal Filipino Favorites class, we enjoyed the company and the food. We also had a visitor that brought in Tamales to taste, so that was a surprise and fun. But we felt that if this was a cooking class we left without learning anything from the Chef. We were hoping for insight into Philippines cooking and basics but we ended up with pre cooked soup that was already made before we showed up. The starter was also pre-made before we showed up. There was only one station so only one person got hands on experience of cooking 3 dishes. So if you want to learn this is not the class for you. If you want to have good food and company this is a great experience. The price felt steep for what our experience was.

Chef Nancy was very sweet and welcoming from the start! We learned how to make hainanese chicken with rice/sauces and palitaw. The food was amazing and she was very knowledgeable. She made our anniversary special and even packed plenty of leftovers for us! We are excited to come back and recommend her to all of our friends!

We had a great time with Nancy! She was an excellent host and provided a perfect experience for my wife and I. The food was great, we learned some new sauces and a couple of tricks on preparing rice. She had prepared our poached chicken beforehand but had another on the stove which she divided between us and the other couple to take home afterwards. Nancy truly went out of her way to provide an excellent afternoon in both food and conversation. Highest recommendation for us, we can wait to try another recipe with her.

Chef Nancy made us feel welcomed in her home and the cooking experience we had with her was amazing! She was very attentive to our needs and gave us good tips and feedback that we can incorporate into our own cooking at home. She had us taste test different ingredients as we cooked the food as opposed to tasting the final product. She shared with us her cultural culinary background and fun stories. I highly recommend taking one of Chef Nancy's cooking classes to not only gain culinary knowledge but to also have fun with cooking!

Our young adult children set up Chef Nancy for our anniversary dinner. Chef Nancy and her husband welcomed us with kindness into their home for the evening. As we entered we were immediately greeted with the wonderful aroma of spices. Chef Nancy taught us cooking techniques, and we were directly involved in preparation of all of the dishes we enjoyed that evening. Nancy and her husband also talked about the history of the Philippines and the art of cooking. We would highly recommend to anyone who wants good memories and extraordinary Filipino cuisine.

The best cooking class I’ve attended! Nancy is a fabulous chef. The food was delicious! She was so kind and made us feel like part of the family. I loved how she educated us on the food origins and the Philippines while teaching us how to cook the meal. She even helped celebrate my friend’s birthday. I highly recommend her and would love to go back again.

Chef Nancy is so knowledgeable and compassionate about the art of cooking. She made me and my soul mate feel right at home. I was initially very anxious about not being able to apply the skills she so gracefully instructed but her demeanor, kindness and patience calmed me to the point of me feeling at home. I truly can’t give her any greater compliment than to say I honestly feel like family after this experience. She touched our hearts and souls by means of the culinary arts. Oh, and the food was so delicious! We definitely indulged in seconds. Undoubtedly, she is a true gem and Queen in her profession and we were blessed by being able to be in her presence. Thank you Nancy, I’m a happy birthday boy!

I felt at home as soon as I walked into Chef Nancy's kitchen. She is so friendly and knowledgeable that I knew it was going to be a great time. Using her Filipino heritage, she showed us some new ways to prepare familiar ingredients and other completely novel ideas! As the self proclaimed "Adobo Queen," Chef Nancy certainly brings the flavor! I highly recommend her class and I hope I get to go back for more!

03/16/20

Chef Nancy will no doubt be an asset to Cozymeal. I still remember the time I hosted the launching of her Adobo Book at our home in Pasadena. It was definitely a sell out. I had to wait for more to be shipped from Manila to fill up the orders we got. Not only did they like her book, but they truly enjoyed the dishes she demonstrated. The adobo flakes was a winner! My mouth is watering as I write. One of my guests even commented that her entertaining and easy approach to cooking should land her a job on the Food Channel! We, her friends, and many in the community who love her cooking all look forward to her next visit to L.A. to once again enjoy her amazing dishes.
