Join a class and we teach you the technique. Start here.About this EventFilipino food is having its moment — and Maricel has been waiting for you to arrive.This is the class that starts it all. If you've eaten Filipino food and wondered how it's made, or if you've never tried it and want to begin somewhere real, this is where you come in. Chef Maricel teaches you four dishes that tell the story of Filipino cooking — its Chinese roots, its Spanish soul, its instinct for celebration and comfort.No experience needed. Just show up ready to cook and eat.What you'll make:Lumpia — crisp, golden Filipino egg rolls with a savory filling you'll want to make for every gathering from here on out. Once you know how to roll them, you won't stop.Pancit Bihon — the noodle dish that shows up at every Filipino birthday, every family celebration, every table that means something. Light, savory, and deeply satisfying.Pancit Molo — Filipino dumpling soup. Delicate wrappers, rich broth, the kind of comfort that makes a cold night feel like nothing.Filipino Fruit Salad — creamy, sweet, tropical, and the dessert that makes everyone at the table smile. A perfect finish.You cook step by step. You eat together at the end. You go home with the recipes and the confidence to make them again.Filipino cuisine carries centuries of influence — Chinese, Spanish, Southeast Asian — layered into dishes that are bold, generous, and made for sharing. Chef Maricel has spent her life cooking these flavors and bringing them to the American table. Tonight she brings them to yours.Come cook. Come eat. Come learn.If you are redeeming a gift certificate, please call or text us at 732-497-2698 to reserve your place.
