Kristine Cancio found her culinary calling during a trip in Napa Valley, California inspired by its wineries and countless culinary offerings. The following year, Kristine moved to her family’s native land, Manila Philippines to attend the top culinary school in the country. Upon graduating at the top of her class, she started working as a chef and chef instructor both in California and Manila, as well as running a culinary program in Orange County.
