Chef Anthony Ballesteros at The Maya Kitchen

In a fast-paced life of moms like me, I usually has less time to prepare dishes.  Even at work, It is always same Filipino food that is available during lunch because of time constraint.

The only available time to bond with family and make them feel special and loved especially the kids, is to cook for them different cuisine like Italian.  But the dilemma is, how can one cook an authentic Italian?

The solution is The Maya Kitchen Culinary school.  Aside from baking classes they also teach different cuisine from all over the world.

The real beautiful part of The Maya Kitchen is that they have a well-known chef specializing in Italian dishes, and that's none other than Chef Anthony Ballesteros. Chef Anton has quite an impressive culinary background. 

The cooking demo by Chef Anton was truly very helpful for hands-on and busy moms.  His style of cooking was very informative, from teaching the procedure on how to make pasta, very easy to prepare Aglio Olio, the Lasagne Ragu (that not only tastes so very good but smells so great and nicely and sumoky presented) among the few.

This kind of cooking shown by Chef Anrhony is truly world class and Italian cooking at its best!
