YUMMY magazine brings you Pass The Plate: A Cooking Demo with YUMMY and Knorr

A Yummy Cooking Demo with Knorr

Last October 6 was an exciting day for Yummy and Knorr, budding chefs and foodies everywhere trooped to Robinsons Supermarket, Metro East for Pass The Plate: A Cooking Demo with YUMMY and Knorr. This was the first leg of five cooking demos to be done all over the country.

Devoted YUMMY readers and shoppers alike got to watch and learn easy, yummy recipes and practical cooking tips that are ideal for when cooking at home for the family. As the participants learned how to dish up new and exciting meals, they also got a chance to win raffle prizes courtesy of Knorr and Yummy!

This is why I love Yummy Eats!

I love Yummy Eats!

Every year, foodies all over the metro and the rest of the country as well, come to one roof to celebrate the life as it should be.  Living a life filled with fun, flavor and of course food!  This year, Yummy Eats, the country's greatest food gathering, featuring tons of new flavors and a selection of fine treats, handpicked into the line up by no other than Yummy magazine, the country's no. 1 food magazine.  Get to taste bits and bites of delicious treats as they take you to a journey of the best treats in town.

Pictures speak louder than words, as these pictures speak for themselves.  It was already late in the evening that I was able to visit Yummy Eats, but by golly there was still so much food to take in.

Featured in this year's Yummy Eats is J. Co donuts and coffee, the country's newest donut sensation, now open at SM Megamall and SM Mall of Asia.  Mochiko, Butterfly desserts, Homemade treasures, and Pinkerton ice cream were some of my favorites.

Adding flavor to the already enticing food treats, here are some that caught my fancy, not because of how they presented it, but just how good tasting they really are.  Wabi Sabi, the healthy veggie crackling, QQ mochi buns and Choclery Artisan chocolates definitely had my sweet tooth, and my favorite lechon, Pepita's Lechon.

It was great to see good foodie friends and chefs such as Bruce Lim and Angelo Comsti, gracing such foodie feasts.  But for me the winners of the night were the ones I bought some to take home.  Kate Bakes, my wife loves 'em so and Crunchy Belly, a sinful yet delicious treat.

Also at Yummy Eats were the favorites of all time such as Serenitea, Goodies and Sweets and Chuck's Grub.  Thank you Yummy Eats for gastronomic experience like no other.  Can't wait for Yummy Eats 2013.  See you then!

A Yummy cooking event - Asian delights

YUMMY magazine holds Asian-inspired cooking demo

Do you love Asian food?  Who doesn't right?  With so much flavors and so much variety, you would be amazed that if you tried to have a dish a day for 365 days, it would take you at least 10 years or more to have it all done. By then, there would be new dishes lined up for you to taste again.  It is a never ending journey of culinary delights!

But in this day and age with all the rising gas prices and rising cost of living, only a handful could really afford to dine at restaurants everyday, and of course it's not considered healthy.

YUMMY magazine has made it its mission to provide readers with easy meals every day, featuring recipes that are quick to prepare with ingredients readily available in local supermarkets.

Just recently at the Robinsons Galleria Supermarket, YUMMY and Knorr showed readers how to prepare easy Asian dishes in a cooking demo led by chefs Tristan Encarnacion and Angelo Comsti.

Hosted by deejay Ingrid Nieto of Mellow 94.7, the YUMMY Cooking Demo featured four special recipes from Knorr prepared by Encarnacion, and two recipes from the August issue of YUMMY –an Asian Dishes Special—prepared by Comsti.
