Chefs Table at Anya

Dear Chefs and Members,

Warm Greetings!

March 12, 2022-- After two years of virtual dinners, LTB Philippines Chefs Association finally held its first face-to-face event since February 2020. Over forty attendees traveled to Anya Resort Tagaytay in Silang, Cavite to join the Chefs Table at Samira by Chef Chele Gonzalez.

Members and guests were greeted at the door by our Board of Directors and host, LTB member and Resort General Manager, Mikel Arriet. While Chef Chele and his team prepared for service, the guests excitedly mingled and enjoyed the free-flowing refreshments and breathtaking views on the veranda. Guests were served passed hors d'oeuvres of buñuelos de bacalao, chorizo pintxos, and tanigue ceviche mixed tableside.

Raymund Manzanillo and Rissa Rosas of La Peregrina Filipina guided the guests to a tasting of their wide selection of Spanish wines. 

Before lunch commenced, LTB President, Chef Carlo Miguel, and the members of the LTB Board of Directors formally welcomed everyone and shared words of gratitude to the attendees, hosts, and sponsors.
