One thing for sure, Filipino kitchens will be busy preparing for the usual New Year's Eve fiesta! I am sharing this recipe for a different kind of fruit salad whipped up by Chef Jonathan Paul Em during a cooking demo organized by Electrolux Philippines in Alabang Town Center last December 3. The chef also showed how to make Christmas Paella, Cassava Tarts and Smoked Salmon Cucumber Rolls but the Spiced Fruit Salad Cups recipe was the best one I liked. Read on....

Suddenly, I had to decide whether to have nachos or poutine. I love them both, but rarely see poutine on the menu of local restaurants. Poutine is a famous Canadian specialty which consists of French fries, fresh cheese curds and brown gravy. The US Poutine Festival 2017 is a unique gastronomic event happening in four restaurants in the city. It is no doubt aimed at letting Filipinos sample ... Continue Reading...

Along with international interest in what we have to offer, am glad there's now a line of juice drinks made from native fruits which represent the true flavors of ... Continue Reading...
