" Charlene's Pantry exceeded all my expectations. They offered an experience that is beyond just an amusement on the taste buds, but one that facilitated the interactions between strangers and friends alike. Thank you for reminding us what good food can be and what it can do. Through the colourful and plentiful courses of hor d'oeuvres, my 50 or so guests were well fed and well pleased. What was meant to be the side dish, in the best possible way, became the centre piece of the night." 

Christian Chan, Hong Kong

" What makes Charlene so unique as a culinary school teacher is her professionalism, patience and passion in bringing happiness to others through cooking. My family and friends love the food I brought back home from Charlene's classes."

Karen Leung, Hong Kong

" My husband and I took Charlene's cooking class as our 'date-night' activity. It was a fun afternoon, and we learned a lot of cooking tips. Charlene teaches a lot of cooking basics and equips up to improvise at home, which is different from your traditional cooking class.

Veronica Yin & Fred Tan, Hong Kong

"Charlene is an amazing and passionate chef, she is creative and innovative with her techniques and favor profile. A seasoned chef with the ability to explain every step of the cooking process with surgical precision. Thumbs up"

Vivian Chan, Toronto
