Chef Janice De Belen

truth be told that SPOON is now a smash hit not only on television but also in mall events!

NET 25’s first cooking and celebrity talk show, SPOON made Midtown Wing of Robinson’s Manila abuzz with engaging activities last Sunday, June 28, 2009 on its 3rd time mall invasion.

Using Alaska Milk Condensada and Evaporada as main ingredients, the chef guests, a combination of professional and aspiring culinary experts cooked their different genre of specialties.

To spice up the event, Alaska also made sure that people will get to taste Alaska Choco through a product-sampling in a pyramid game to be found at the booth section.

The chefs were Chef’s Czarina Yu, Sinag Adviento, Ojie Reloj, Peter Ayson and Chef Theo.

Their mouth-watering specialties included kid’s favorite meals, weekend dessert treats, great tasting afternoon snacks, breakfast meals and healthy “baon” in time for the back-to-school season. 

The activity is aligned with the network’s theme for the month of June dubbed “Food for Thought”, centering on food and nutrition.

It was highlighted by Janice de Belen’s showcasing of her cooking ability by demonstrating her own way of making garlic beef steak in mushroom sauce, Mexican style macaroni, and Alaska fruit cup; Janice will soon graduate as student of the Center for Culinary Arts.

Likewise, picture taking of Spoon fanatics with Janice were given quality time for another SPOON event to remember.

Co-hosted by Eunice Marino of Homepage and Sexy Terry, jam-packed audiences keenly participated with all the event’s programs like sharing of ideas and asking questions. In return, Spoon was geared up with all the exciting prizes of Alaska gift packs, Spoon T-shirts, mugs, and aprons that were given to all who participated actively.

Enthusiasm stayed on when a special child named Oscar Rodriguez and 5 year-old aspiring chef Jericho Co Leng joined the stage and helped the chefs, showing people how everyone can cook with passion, regardless of your physical condition and age. 

In all the cooking demonstrations, attendees of the event got the chance to taste the recipes cooked by the chefs.  They also won special prizes by participating in text promos by simply answering trivia questions from the highlights of SPOON’s episodes.

SPOON mall invasion will be seen at NET 25, Sundays at 6:30pm and10:30pm with replays every Saturday at 11:00am.

Healthy cooking - Best way to add years to your life

 
By: Abhishek AgarwalHealthy eating habits can only assist one to live longer and healthier. There are many ways one can get a glimpse or in-depth knowledge about healthy cooking. This is indeed very important and the many cooking colleges all over the world have understood the importance too that they have inculcated a special syllabus relating to healthy diets in their training course for chefs.

People around the world are encouraged to keep their minds open to learning healthy cooking techniques. Keeping to a diet that has various healthy dishes that can be easily cooked and served is important, it is also important to have a change in the diet every day. Contrary to popular belief a healthy diet is not tasteless and free from oil. Every thing is good if taken in moderation. Too much of anything is bad. If these people who complain of the boredom of a healthy dies were to have a variety of foods to choose from the boredom will vanish and so will their complaints – and also their medical problems or most of them.

A cook must have an imagination that is coupled with intelligence in order to create clever and tasty dishes for people who need to be on a strict healthy diet. If the chef is creative enough he will use sour cream in dishes requiring it with a healthier ingredient – non-fat yogurt. This does not change the tastes of the dish but it does reduce the fat content making it a healthier food to eat. Then there is the salad that is doused with some salsa instead of the heavy cream dressing. This way you are not only saving big on fat deposits but you are also adding a bit of spice to the salad.

Creating healthy food can be very exciting if you are creative and know where the calories and fats are hidden. An intelligent chef will be able to experiment and discover newer dishes that are tasty and fun to eat – not to mention healthy. If you mix some French's mustard bottle and mix it with some soy sauce you will be making yourself a fat free salad dressing all can enjoy. This dressing is something so simple to make that anyone can make it is a matter of minutes and serve.

Eating healthy food is the best gift you can give yourself and family. Try to cut out as much fat and oils as possible and include more vegetables and green in place of meats and canned food. In the long run you will be able to compare your health with that of the fat guzzling neighbors and see the difference in just a few days.
