A graduate of baking school, Cristina started out her life as an apprentice baker, eventually working her way up at a company to become the general manager. She did this all while also attending college to pursue a degree in history at the University of the Philippines. After college, Cristina decided to explore the world, so she packed up and traveled across the Middle East, landing a job in the pastry department of a restaurant in Doha, Qatar, before moving to Singapore for a job as a general manager at a gourmet bakery. After that job, she became a pastry chef instructor at a local baking school. In 2018, she won Cookie Corner\u2019s recipe contest and has since become their Research and Development chef. She also works full time as a pastry chef at 3660 on the Rise, a local restaurant here in Honolulu. &amp;nbsp; Find Chef Cristina:  Instagram 3660 on the Rise  &amp;nbsp; Mentioned in this Episode   Om Ali dessert Bain Marie  Bubu Arare (crispy rice crackers)  &amp;nbsp; Come Visit BFF with the Chef:  The BFF with the Chef Website Twitter Facebook Instagram  &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"BFF with the Chef","author_url":"https:\/\/www.bffwiththechef.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/12357422\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/59618252"}
