I've been attending a lot of cooking demos lately. It's nice to learn all these previously unheard of tips from the top chefs and it strengthens my assumption that not every detail and technique are written in cookbooks. You gotta find your own style in cooking and hear it from the masters themselves.You can only do this by seeing them up close. YUMMY Magazine was kind enough to sponsor a cooking demo by Tristan Encarnacion, the young resident chef of the early morning show Unang Hirit. One part of Robinsons Supermarket was crowded that day with an audience who were ... Continue Reading...
Yummy Eats at the Fort: all the good things!
I was excited to attend the YUMMY Eats food fair at The Fort over the weekend, mostly because I knew the vendors would be among the best this city has to offer. Glad to say I wasn't disappointed. Thumbs up to the zoning of the event venue, the NBC Tent, on the big day because it wasn't crowded and stifling. The Yummy Magazine team carefully picked the 31 food retailers who would sell their products that day, with a little bit of everything to sample from each category - from drinks to cakes to the ultimate tummy fillers like lechon. I ended up buying the ... Continue Reading...

Mr. Jones, Greenbelt 5
Just when I thought I was becoming tired of the Greenbelt restaurants comes now Mr. Jones. It was certainly nice to meet "him" that warm Thursday afternoon, looking every bit like the hip diner I can hang out for hours and hours in. Hmm, I wonder if they have free wifi ~ my attention seems to have been focused on all the food awaiting us. With two appetizer rounds, a sampling of three main courses, dessert and an ice-cream filled drink, the tasting that awaited us was particularly heavy. I should have skipped lunch :D We were in Mr. Jones coz it collaborated ... Continue Reading...
A YUMMY dinner at Tosca, Dusit Thani Manila
I have been a fan of the local YUMMY Magazine for the longest time. I always make it a point to buy the latest issue from the nearest Ministop or 7-Eleven, and have gotten a kick from trying out some of the recipes as well. I have just one complaint from this magazine: viewing its pages never fail to make me hungry. The pictures seem to leap from the confines of colorful paper and ink, looking ready to be eaten! My friends agree as well :D That is why when the invite from Yummy came for their media Christmas dinner (thanks Fran and Ro!), I was excited to attend. The ... Continue Reading...
