I'm the kind of person who likes to check new dishes on recipe books and selects the easiest to prepare, why? because it's time-saving and I can add some personal twist to it. As my food adventure never ends in my kitchen, I  was lucky enough to be in The Maya Kitchen once again to witness amazing dishes being created by renowned and astonishing Chefs. As for today, they featured Chef Mira Angeles of Spell Kitchen , A very Talented Chef that works her magic on every dish that she prepares, turning ordinary dishes into a one of a kind dish.

Dreaming of having some wine with my husband and enjoying a nice sumptuous lunch or dinner while being mesmerized by the enchanting view but enough of those days dreaming since it's like I already went there when  I met and attended a  French and Meditteranean cooking class with Chef Xavier Btesh at The Maya  Kitchen last Saturday. Chef Xavier Btesh was born and raised in Paris.He was also trained under renowned chefs. He also becomes a consultant chef of various businesses.

Selfie while we are waiting for the other participants to arrive at CCA where in we are going to prepare all the ingredients. The event is about showcasing the favorite food of grandchildrens or apo like me which I will be doing in the cooking demo.

In this part. The host is asking some questions about my lola,her recipe and other things. At exactly 12:00 in the afternoon we started the cooking demo, though we encountered some electrical or technical problem, the staff are really fast and fixed it in just few minutes.
