At Maricel’s Kitchen, we offer the best cooking class experience in New Jersey, focusing on the rich and diverse flavors of Asian culinary traditions.

Why I Love Cooking Authentic Filipino Food

Growing up in Manila, I was surrounded by the vibrant and diverse flavors of Filipino cuisine. The kitchen was the heart of our home, and I learned to cook from my Lola. Filipino food is all about bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and the joy of sharing meals with loved ones. It’s this essence that I bring to my classes, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

My Passion for Other Asian Cuisines

While Filipino food is my first love, my culinary journey has taken me across Asia. I’ve fallen in love with the precision of Japanese cooking, the perfect balance of flavors in Thai dishes, the bold and spicy notes of Korean cuisine, the fresh and aromatic dishes from Vietnam, and the diverse techniques of Chinese and Indian cooking. Each cuisine has its unique charm, and I am passionate about sharing these wonderful flavors with my students.

What You’ll Experience in My Classes

Hands-On, Fun, and Informative

In my classes, you’ll roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with the cooking process. I believe that cooking should be fun and educational. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, I strive to make each class enjoyable and enriching.

A Social and Enjoyable Experience

Cooking is more than just preparing food; it’s about creating memories and sharing the joy of food with others. Bring your friends, family, or come alone and meet new people. My classes are a great way to connect, have fun, and enjoy delicious food together.

My Hopes for My Students

I hope that each of my students leaves my class with a deeper appreciation for the flavors and techniques of Asian cuisine. I want you to feel confident in the kitchen, inspired to try new recipes, and excited to share your culinary creations with loved ones. Most importantly, I hope you discover the joy and love of cooking that has been such a big part of my life.
