Amazing experience! Didn't know what to expect going in but was not disappointed. Chef Nancy was an amazing host and a great teacher. Food came out amazing. I graduated culinary school back in 2018 and I still left feeling like I learned a lot. High recommendations!

Chef Nancy is now a part of our family! She was so welcoming, warm, and friendly. Teaching us the meaning behind the style of Filipino cooking, which is so beautiful. This was more than just a cooking class, but an overall experience my date, and I will never forget. I look forward to visiting Chef Nancy again and with friends this time around! Amazing food, great experience, beautiful home, and all. Thank you again, Chef, for everything!

Ingredients weren’t top quality. Also the house where she had it wasn’t too great. Was pretty disappointed. Also the potato salad mentioned in the menu wasn’t even made.

Where do I begin? My wife and I celebrated our anniversary by booking the chicken Adobe cooking class with Chef Nancy and it was AMAZING. She is so welcoming, so knowledgeable and we had the best time. This review box is not long enough to express the fun we had - and the food was to die for. There aren’t enough nice things to say about Nancy.

As someone doing a class like this for the first time I was a little skeptical. Chef Nancy was welcoming when we arrived and super easy to talk to! We enjoyed her company just as much as we enjoyed the cooking class. She keeps it fun by teaching you multiple different types of rolls and the techniques behind them. We ended up making friends with her more so than her just being an instructor. No stress when it came to cooking, delicious meal, and you leave with a ton of food. Highly recommend

Chef Nancy was so welcoming and very sweet! She made us feel like family and she walked us through how to cook chicken adobo and other dishes. The food was absolutely amazing and I look forward to more chicken adobo in the future! Thus was our first time doing something like this, and I would definitely do it again and chose another dish with chef Nancy! I highly recommend booking with her!

Chef Nancy was. AWESOME!!! My wife and I had a great time learning from her and came out of the class excited & confident about making our own sushi. Nancy actually gave good tips on what to look for when ordering sushi in a restaurant as well. She went above and beyond with what we expected from the class. She has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh with her guests. I will recommend her to anyone willing to learn to make sushi.

Chef Nancy is awesome! Being new to cooking some of these flavors, she took the time to answer all our questions and inspired us to be a bit riskier. Amazing experience and looking forward to exploring more of these flavors with Chef Nancy!

When we signed up for a special Valentine's Day event with Chef Nancy we knew she had too many 5-star reviews to count. What we didn't know is that she's an internationally known superstar in her cooking arena. From owning a famous 85-year own old restaurant in her homeland, to effortlessly creating a traditional meal with style, grace and wit, she's an experience everyone should have at least once!

Chef Nancy was AMAZING!!! Literally worth every penny. She took the time to explain every dish and process so well and even treated us to wine! Such a fun way to spend an evening. Definitely will be back. Best Adobe I’ve had hands down (and I’m Filipino haha)

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!

Had a fantastic time! Highly recommend Nancy if you’re in the mood to be educated about the Philippines while filling your belly with some authentic food. She was a wonderful host and definitely made me and my partner feel at home & welcomed.

Chef Nancy is an excellent host and entertainer. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons she imparted on us and the welcoming atmosphere she created at her home. We ended up being a group of four and we each assisted in preparing one dish each. Chef Nancy explained each dish and encouraged us to taste various ingredient to understand the different flavor profiles. This a great environment for beginners and it isn’t intimidating at all for novice cooks.

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!

Chef Nancy made our experience unforgettable! I booked her class as a surprise for a friend's birthday and she went all out with balloons, music, and decorations. She and her husband were so welcoming and made everyone feel like part of the family. Communication with Nancy was like messaging with a close friend. Her food was incredible and my friends couldn't stop talking about the special dessert she planned for the evening. Thank you Nancy for your hospitality and expertise!

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!

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.
