This was the most absolute amazing time! Chef Nancy was extremely nice and fun. She taught us very well and everything was delicious. She did a great job personalizing the experience including remembering everyone’s name and making the birthday guest of honor feel special. We will definitely be doing this again with a few more friends!

A lot of fun! Chef Nancy was very sweet. I anticipated more demonstration rather than her just describing what we were doing, so often times I was a little confused. But we had a great group of people and had a blast!

Came to this event with my BF for a date night and we didnt enjoy it much. The venue was in a dirty pub and there was no seating so we all had to stand for 2 hours. Chef Nancy was friendly but seemed tipsy and unorganized. I don't think it was worth the cost.

Chef Nancy was excellent. I had an amazing learning experience with her. She not only taught us the basics of cooking but also showed us how to have fun while cooking and entertaining. I am highly recommending her and will definitely attend her class.

Chef Nancy was born into a family who’s owned the Aristocrat Restaurant since (nance I don’t know when). An institution and part of the Filipino food culture, Aristocrat was started by her Grandmother in ? who cooked the dishes herself. It’s no wonder why learning to cook from Chef Nancy is like learning to cook from your mom. Her teaching method is straight forward and not intimidating especially to those who don’t navigate well in the kitchen. She conducts her classes in a fashion that makes you feel like you’re in your own kitchen. I particularly like that she includes cooking tips that otherwise you won’t find in cookbooks like putting a wooden spoon over a pot to prevent boiling over, peeling garlic with a spoon to (I forgot), shaking salt into a pot from eye level to prevent pouring too much or too little. Her classes are really fun. Pudy Punzalan Retired Staff from United Nations

Chef Nancy is a popular and charming Filipino cook and author. Her adobo book is a must have. I would recommend joining her class to learn a different spin in cooking. Priscilla Debler Orchid grower in Apopka, FL

I have known Chef Nancy for many years. She has always been an excellent resource for ideas, how to and advices about cooking. She is very knowledgeable and constantly comes up with innovative or kitchen proven steps on cooking particularly the Filipino Pork Adobo. She is indeed the “Adobo Queen” back in the Philippines where she is a cooking celebrity Chef, with a multitude of followers, well known for this dish and her style of preparing dishes extraordinaire. I highly recommend her skill of culinary styles, recipes and innovative ways of cooking traditional Filipino dishes as well as continental cuisine. Her food preparation training abilities as a professional are backed by many years of experience. In addition, her expertise in running her family restaurants which is a famous landmark in Manila needs to be included.

I am a retired Human Resource Manager with various global companies in the insurance, automotive , geophysical industries for over 20 years in Canada and US. I've had the pleasure of experiencing the diverse culinary skills of Chef Nancy. Being known as the Adobo Queen, Nancy truly lives up to this famous title. She cooks the most delicious adobo and other Filipino dishes in her most exquisite style. Whenever I return to Manila for vacation I make sure I pay a visit to her family owned restaurant that serves the most popular delicacy...chicken barbeque with homemade achara (pickled papaya strips, etc.) and java rice, otherwise my vacation is not complete. Chef nancy's passion for cooking has already shown even as early as when we were still in school.

Hello Houston! Do you know how lucky you are to have Chef Nancy in your area? I have taken classes from her and It has been loaded with information, but also so much fun. You will learn techniques, short cuts and secret that books do not share... I think laughter helps one remember better than seriousness. Chef Nancy will also show the correct way and the chronology that makes a dish taste unforgettable... Take her class soon... you will be so glad you have!!! BTW our “adobo queen” can sing too!
