TV5 has a special cooking treat for everyone this October in “How ’Bout My Place... Tonight?” as award-winning actress Judy Ann Santos whips up your late night with her very own quick and easy recipe on Oct. 1, at 11:30 p.m.

The show is a cooking clinic with Chef Fernando Aracama and Chef John Cu-Unjieng, the best chefs in the metro teaching you the masterful but practical art of cooking. But some say wives are the best cooks, and maybe Ryan Agoncillo can attest to that as Juday shares her special recipe on Asian noodles.

But not to be unlicensed as a budding professional chef, Juday has just recently received her Certificate of Competency in cooking from TESDA in July, after graduating from the Center for Asian Culinary Studies and taking a course in International Cuisine in Thailand.

“How ’Bout My Place... Tonight?” airs 11:30 p.m. on TV5.
