KITCHENSTEAD - Key Persons


Barbara Padolina

Married with twelve children, Barbara's culinary experience is both professional and vocational. As a professional cook and caterer, she has been engaged in food preparation and service for over 5 years. This is a collation of periods of time interspersed with what she recognises to be her most important "work" - caring for her family at home for the better part of 28 years. Cooking for a crowd has never been a problem because it is something Barbara has been doing for her own family. Her Bachelor of Science degree in Legal Management from Ateneo de Manila University has not gone to waste as Barbara strives to put to practice both the principles of effective business management and excellence in service. As The Home Cook, Barbara is mindful of those for whom she feels privileged to be able to prepare food. Each dish, dessert and meal is an expression of care and an opportunity to be nourished in more ways than one.
