Chef Maricel Gentile
Chef Maricel is on a mission to put Filipino food on the global table—one class, one tasting, and one recipe at a time. Everything she creates is rooted in her Filipino heritage and shaped by a deep love for Asian flavors. Whether it’s teaching how to roll lumpia, serving a kamayan-style feast, or sharing a home-cooked recipe, her goal is to make Filipino food feel familiar, joyful, and unforgettable. Through Maricel’s Kitchen, she offers hands-on cooking classes, intimate chef’s table experiences, and now her new cookbook, Maricel’s Simply Asian Cookbook—all designed to share culture, history, and heart through every bite.
