A lot of friends ask me where I learned to cook. It is quite unusual for a guy my age to be actually cooking some of these great meals for my friends especially since I never took up culinary skills. You see, you can only learn so much on your own. There are just some things that someone has to teach you. Luckily, I have Heny Sison’s culinary school. They offer short courses as well as half day classes on particular subjects such as rice toppings, cup cakes. So I thought I’d help everyone out by posting their schedule for December. Do something special for your family/loved one/ friends this holiday season. Take a break and learn to cook something. I tell you these classes are worth it!
(This post was made after attending one of her classes.)

Thanks to the Holiday, I was able to attend one of the culinary classes at the Heny Sison Culinary School. (Check here for schedules! Promise super cheap and super sulit!)
I attended Chef Kathy Sion’s class on Chinese Rice Toppings. The class was about P1,850 (inclusive of the materials and recipes and certificate! you also can take home what you made!)
Like I said, if you want to learn how to cook, but don’t really want to take up culinary classes this is for you! I am a frequent visitor!
On the menu for today was:
- Spinach Seafood Soup
- Mandarain Grilled Beef with Green Pepper Sauce
- Chicken on Lemon Sauce
- Braised Pata Tim with Chinese Mushroom
- Shrimp Balls with Brocolli and Straw Mushrooms
- Grass Jelly Icecream
It was an awesome class. Very light and alot of jokes and advice. Also alot of cooking tips for non -culinary people. How to saute and fry. How to test for the heat of the oil and a lot of little trade secrets that you won’t read in the books. BTW, chinese cooking or dishes with NO MSG is awesome!
Chef Kathy was a great teacher. She even let me cook the beef as well as marinade and feel the texture of the beef to make sure that it was tender without tenderizing sirloin!
*Sorry guys, although I’d love to put the recipe here, I can’t since I wanna encourage you guys to go to the classes. Trust me, if you love cooking for friends or family or even for yourself, this is the way to go. They actually have dimsum making also by Chef Kathy Sion as well as Gourmet Burgers by Chef Jason Stacy. Even those with zero-knowledge will be able to do it!
But I can share with you the pictures! Enjoy!
