A home is always made warmer by the smells wafting from a busy kitchen. And with much of the family’s bonding moments revolving around meal times, it’s easy to say that the kitchen is the heart of a happy household.
For these celebrity families, family meals — from simple suppers to feasts — are central in creating those unforgettable memories. Of course it helps to have a kitchen that is not just functional, but also aesthetically brilliant.
Be inspired by these kitchens and create your favorite dishes in a kitchen fit for the stars!
Solenn Heussaff
A small kitchen like Solenn’s can be made more functional with great use of space and minimal countertop clutter. Solenn’s interesting choice in wall design brightens the place up, making for not just a gastronomic feast; but also a visual one.

Solenn and her husband, Nico Bolzico, sometimes like to battle it out in the kitchen.

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo
Both Ryan Agoncillo and his lovely wife Judy Ann “Juday” Santos love to cook. Juday, in particular, has had formal culinary training, and has even published a recipe book of her own. It’s no wonder this celebrity couple’s kitchen is packed with all the necessary equipment to make perfect meals for their growing family!

A big window fills the Agoncillo kitchen with natural light, while spacious counters provide more than enough space to cook up a storm.

Kris Aquino
Kris Aquino’s kitchen features spacious, white and grey, marble countertops. An island in the center houses a three-layered oven, where she likes to make “oven-baked spaghetti” (as seen in the Instagram post below). Wall to wall storage ensures she has more than enough space to store her dishes and other breakable items away. A two-door refrigerator is also a must-have for this TV host.

Vicki Belo
From floor to ceiling, Vicki Belo’s kitchen is a classic white space, a bright place for the family to better enjoy prepping their favorite meals. The impressive floor plan also allows for the whole family to participate in the cooking.
These days, Vicki’s kitchen has been filled with happy memories of her youngest daughter’s adorable antics.

The Kramers
The Kramers love their family meals! A photo of their kitchen on Doug Kramer’s Instagram account shows dark wood-paneled kitchen cupboards that contrast nicely with white countertops. The kitchen is well-equipped, and includes a “coffee and Kramer station” for Doug’s daily dose of caffeine.

Neri Naig
Neri Naig’s kitchen is a mix of modern and rustic. Her minimalist approach is apparent in the classic lines of her kitchen, made more interesting by repurposed pieces, such as her bread table and wooden barrel as seen below.
Busy si Mommy ko kaka-arrange ng mga bulaklak. Mahilig maghoard ng hobbies nanay ko! Lahat gusto niyang subukan. Lahat kaya niya. Kahit maging electrician, ginagawa niya sa bahay. Naalala ko nung bata pa kami, yung mga hindi na gumagana na mga gamit, napapa andar niya. MacGyver ang tawag namin sa kanya ng mga kapatid ko. Parang walang impossible sa mommy ko, kaya bilib kami sa kanya! Sabi niya sa akin, gusto kong magtanim ng maraming bulaklak. Sabi ko sa kanya kapag magkafarm ako, ibigay ko sa kanya yung 300 sq m na lupa para sa garden niya. Bahala siya kung ano ang gusto niyang itanim. Parang playground na niya yun. Mas gusto naming magkakaptid na maging masaya nanay namin para mas humaba pa buhay niya. Sa dinami rami na niyang sakripisyo sa amin para mapalaki kami ng maayos, it is about time naman na siya naman ang i-spoil. Kaya kapag may mga taong sobrang bait sa nanay ko, malambot puso ko sa kanila. Kaya kapag may umaway sa nanay ko, naku, wrong move! Hahaha! Seriously, lagot talaga sila sa aming magkakapatid. Kung bastos sila sa mga nanay nila, wag nilang bastusin nanay namin. Ganun namin kamahal si Mommy. #HomeWithNeri #VeryNeri #ProbinsyanangNeri #NerisJournal #MgaKwentoNiAteNeri
