In 2025, I earned another Chef coat joining the wonderful team of The Untamed Chef. I truly enjoy teaching and sharing my Filipino culture through food and sharing other cuisines from other cultures that I learned and love. One of my 2026 goals is to become more active again and be more present in my social media channels and hopefully to meet you all in person in our cooking classes.

Please check The Untamed Chef for what we have in store for you. We will have a busy and exciting 2026 schedule! See you all soon!

With love,

Chef Angel

Dubai chocolate. So many have tried and enjoyed it and many have copied it. With all the attention it has received what I observed is what got lost in translation, its origins- and it's a Filipino pastry chef that invented it. Enjoy this interview of Chef Nouel Catis. The Filipino behind it all.

Welcome to the world of Dubai's viral chocolate! In this episode, we unravel the magic behind the famous Kunafa Chocolate, a dessert that has captured hearts...

The winning food for 2024 757 Top Chef Competition. Congratulations to what a pleasure to meet chefs Rich and Maricen. My favorite on this plate is the smoked adobo. The pork fat is butter smooth and melts in your mouth good! You won't get sick of the texture like most pork fat is cooked. Nicely done!
