Behind the Kitchen Doors: Chef Giney Villar of Adarna Food and Culture
on 15 August, 2009
Chef Giney Villar of Adarna Food and Culture
Being the head chef and co-owner of Adarna Food and Culture, Chef Giney Villar is always hard at work. Guided by a passion not only for food but also a deep sense of pride for all things Filipino, she can be seen cooking at the stations of her kitchen at practically every service of every day.
In a time when Filipino restaurants try to twist our cuisine by introducing new ingredients, foreign cooking techniques and different plating styles, Adarna has made the conscious choice to move the other way—exploring the rich and often forgotten recipes and techniques of the traditional Pinoy kitchen.
This former NGO book developer and writer has a mission. Besides serving the most delectable Pinoy dishes, Chef Giney hopes not only promote the food but also the vibrant culture behind the food.

Love the photos. I've eaten at Adarna and tried the Pancit Musiko. Loved it. I wish they had more 'noodles' in it though...

Adarna never fails to please. I took some picky eaters to lunch there recently and they all absolutely loved it.

Heard good things about the place from different sources, although the thought of going into the heart of QC always intimidates me a little (even though I technically live in QC, haha).
