    Dr. Efren 'Boy' Vazquez

    On December 8, Saturday, meet the man behind one of Manila’s in-demand restaurants, Cafe Juanita as he shares his cooking secrets in a class at The Maya Kitchen from 9am to 1pm. Dr. Efren ‘Boy’ Vazquez will share his one-of-a-kind recipes for traditional Filipino Christmas dishes such as Rellenong Manok, Lengua Estofado, Baked Fresh Salmon with Mayo-Sigang Dressing, Bringhe, Pinoy Ratatoy, Halayang Mangga Tart and Pinsec. Knowing how to prepare these dishes is sure to make your family’s Noche Buena memorable this year.

    More on Dr. Vasquez:

    “The retired doctor has singlehandedly created a culinary sensation with his Café Juanita franchise located at West Capitol Drive, Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig. His penchant and passion for cooking he got from his family which hails from San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. Recipes passed on from his mother and grandmother are either served in their original glory or are updated to the modern times.

    Chef Sandy Daza

    This is one person I’d like to meet, and am glad The Maya Kitchen is making it possible. Catch renowned Chef Sandy Daza share his favorite recipes for Shepherd’s Pie, Crispy Fish with Garlic Sauce, Shrimp Puttanesca, Spam Fried Rice, Coq Au Vin and Bread Pudding in a special cooking demo at The Maya Kitchen in Makati City on November 24, Saturday, from 9am to 1pm.

    The place can easily get full so I suggest you sign up now. Chef Sandy is busy with a lot of things, among them managing his own resto Wooden Spoon in Katipunan Avenue, hosting Kitchen Confidence which airs every Saturday on Cignal TV and writing his food column in the Inquirer. His array of credentials include a degree in hotel and restaurant management from Cornell University in New York. He also attended Ecole Cordon Bleu and the American University both in Paris, France and went to Mandarin Hotel Cooking School on Thai Cuisine in Bangkok, Thailand. Yes, Sandy Daza was The Chef long before today’s babes-in-the-woods celebrity chefs came into the fore. Surely, I’d like to know from him such things as how to make darn good fluffy fried rice and how to whip up a good sauce for bread pudding. Am sure there’s a lot more cooking secrets he can share in the class.

  5. November & December classes at The Maya Kitchen

    November 13, 2011 by ajay

    As the holiday season approaches, Manila’s culinary schools like The Maya Kitchen get to be in demand and classes easily get filled up. Mothers like me want to learn something new to serve on the holiday table or give food gifts to friends. The enterprising ones take cooking and baking lessons to go into business because pastries and takeaway food are very much popular in December.

    The Maya Kitchen

    Last Nov. 12, I happily sat in class again upon the invitation of Tess Laurente and TMK’s culinary directress, Ms. Rory Subida. This time around, young chef Ines Vargas Javellana of The Vargas Kitchen shared recipes of delicious baked goodies like sylvannas,food for the gods, red velvet cake and rum cake with vanilla pudding. I also transcribed her recipe for yummy carrot bars in my other food blog. I wish she shared how to make divine butter cakes since that’s what Vargas Kitchen is famous for but I guess they’re not letting go of their treasured family recipe soon :)

    The red velvet cake looked luscious with its cream cheese frosting and white chocolate topping -
