Cooking it up with Chef Vicky Pacheco



My love for cooking is something that will always stay in my heart.  I think I got this interest since I was a child. I would always sneak to the kitchen just to watch my Dad do his cooking.  My favorite Aunt also encouraged me to try cooking.  She inspired me a lot, that I should cook with your heart.

I may be a Super Mom as what my daughter calls me, but when not in the mood for cooking…my answer is to eat out! Exploring different restaurants is actually one of my favorite things. I get to eat new food and at the same time, I also get ideas of what to serve my family.  

I got so excited upon receiving an invitation from my former schoolmate, blogger friend Joy Mendiola of www.occassionsofjoy.com .  A cooking demo at The Maya Kitchen, the one located at the 8th floor of Liberty Bldg. Arnaiz Ave., San Lorenzo, Makati City.


The cooking demo by Chef Vicky was so light and informative. I could say that she’s the Speed Chef! Why?  She moves swiftly! Can you imagine, showing five dishes in just 2 hours. That is something so amazing for me.

I learned five new recipes from Chef Vicky today.  And to name it, Flatiron Brisket, Manhattan Fish Chowder, Pizzaiola Pasta, Pomelo Orzo Salad and Chicken Piccata. Everything’s so good to my tummy. And seemed so easy to cook!

AJI-NO-MOTO : AjiPanda™: Your Best Friend in the Kitchen


Pampasarap at pampagana! 



Kaibigan nating mga ina!


AjiPanda™ is a cute panda icon that conveys someone shy, caring, happy and loyal. It personifies how a humble pack or bottle of AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning fills the role of “Your Best Friend in the Kitchen” by offering an ever-reliable way of bringing out the natural goodness of
 food.


Ajinomoto’s new campaign, which also features teen queen Kathryn Bernardo, presents the benefits of its dependable brand of seasoning to a new generation of cooks and food lovers.

AJI-NO-MOTO® comes from sugar cane, corn or cassava and is manufactured through the natural process of fermentation. This product is safe, convenient and effective in making food taste delicious.

This is because it is simply free glutamate, the most common among amino acids (the building blocks of protein). It provides the taste of umami to food in the same way that sugar adds sweet taste or salt adds salty taste to food. 
But what is umami? Umami, is the fifth basic taste alongside sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It is the savory, rich and full taste we often experience in meat, seafood, cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms.
Consider the delightful composition of chicken, green papaya and malunggay in tinola or the medley of cheese, ham, pepperoni, tomatoes, green and red bell peppers on top of a pizza. The combinations and layers of these glutamate-rich ingredients make dishes very delicious and enjoyable. 



Remember that AjiPanda™, your best friend in the kitchen, will help work wonders in your cooking so that you can share many happy meals with your family.

AJINOMOTO PHILIPPINES CORPORATION (APC) is an affiliate of Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (AJICO) of Tokyo, Japan.  Established in May 9, 1958, APC supplies quality food and seasoning products in the Philippines, produced by international affiliates and by local toll manufacturers using Ajinomoto's license, quality standards and technological expertise.

CHEESE STICKS: My Homeschooler Girl's Activity

Today is Friday, it's my daughter's TGIF! But before she enjoy her weekends day off from homeschooling, we did some HELE ( Home Economics and Livelihood Education) class first.

I got some fresh lumpia wrapper from the market.


 She simply followed the steps from her teacher mom!

I did the slicing of course.

Step 1
Put 2 slices of cheese on the middle part of the wrapper.

Step 2
Gently wrap the cheese by rolling the wrapper

Step 3
Use water to make the wrapper stick to the its end

SIMPLE WRAPPING in less than a minute for each sticks

THE CRUNCHY CHEESE STICKS! 
with the pink dip (mayo and catsup mixed together

It's easy to prepare! You may store it in the freezer if you are able to make a lot sticks. You may thaw it or directly put on a hot pan with oil ant time you feel like having some cheese sticks at home.
