Cooking with My Great Food

After being a homemaker for five and a half years now, making a weekly meal plan is still the biggest challenge for me. I just whip whatever I feel like cooking but there are days when I'm just too lazy to think! I know you can relate with me.

Last Friday, I was invited to the launch a something really really great! It was held at Marmalade Kitchen in South Forum Global at BGC. Lovely and cozy place!

Christine Jacob-Sandejas, our wonderful host that lunch

We had an ice breaker game, guess the ingredients! My team mates were Jackie and Lori Baltazar (yes, the one and only!) The dish given to us was Beef Rendang. Lori cooks this dish so it was easy peasy (for her. Heehee)!

The Lori Baltazar!

With over 1,000 tested recipes, one will never run out of recipes! A recipe hub for someone like me who likes to cook! Wuhoo!

And to demonstrate a easy recipe using San Miguel Pure Foods products, Chef Aileen Anastacio, owner of Marmalade Kitchen showed us a very easy way on how to cook Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce!

I've never made a perfect poach egg except when I cook the egg in tomato sauce then it's easy. One trick Chef Aileen taught us was to boil water but not to the point it's super hot. Put vinegar and stir the water to make a vortex then slowly slide in the egg. What I do is crack the egg and put it in a ramekin or bowl first.

It's okay if you break the yolk the first time. Go and make another one! When done, put the eggs on paper towels.

I didn't know that there's as easy way to make Hollandaise sauce! I will try to do it at home!

Tadah! Looks so yummy!

This photo is making me hungry! Rawr!

Chef Aileen also made a simple coffee drink with a blender! No need to go to coffee shops. You can cool down this summer heat right at your home!

Look at that drink! It's making me thirsty also. Heehee!
