White House Chef, Cristeta Pasia-Comerford

She is one of 3 to be honored this year by the Bank of Philippines as an outstanding Filipino overseas.

For the United States, White House Chef, serving homegrown vegetables straight from the garden is just like preparing food in her native Philippines - healthy and simple.
This Filipino-American Cristeta Pasia-Comerford, the first woman and first minority to serve on the executive Chef in the USA White House, credited the American First Lady for making sure her family eats steamed, organic vegetables from the garden Michelle Obama planted in April.

Mrs.Obama is a very hands-on person when it comes to knowing healthy meals for the family.
