Testimonials
“My family sent me to Manila to study culinary. What my CCA family taught me was to conquer the world with my cuisine.”
JP Anglo | Celebrity Chef/Owner of Sarsa Kitchen + Bar
“I researched for schools until I came across CCA Manila. And, I saw a couple of chefs that graduated from there. So I figured that they must have a good curriculum. That is why I decided to go down that path. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It gave you the basics. It gave you the confidence that you would go into any kitchen and if someone asked you to do this, you would immediately recognize what it is because of the teachings that were done in school.”
Allan Briones | Chef De Cuisine of Peninsula Hotel’s Old Manila
“A lot of my core values and knowledge as a chef and most especially, my love for food, comes from my two years of studying at CCA, Manila. I learned how to persevere in my chosen career and to never give up when faced with tough challenges. Since learning is a never-ending process, there's always something new to discover so I should never stop researching, honing my craft and innovating in the kitchen.”
