Cooking On TV

hey, my waistline isn't that big! my apron was just loosely tied ha! haha! defensive!

Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that I’d someday be able to cook on national TV. And, I just did.  So surreal. I mean, news anchoring was ME for a good decade or so but me cooking on TV–WOW. Thanks to FOODIE magazine for entrusting the cooking demo to me as they had me guest on abs-cbn’s “Umagang Kay Ganda” sometime last week.

getting last minute instructions from the producer. god, i missed this!

Was back on familiar grounds. Oooh, that smell of stress still there, alright, but the smell of my food suddenly eased me up and reminded me that I wasn’t about to annotate a coup d’ etat! Haha! I was going to cook!!!!!

I met some of the hosts for the first time. Donita Rose and Rica Peralejo were great. Donita, I didn’t know, is a gourmand. She told me how she whips up and develops gourmet dishes almost on a daily basis.  Great to talk shop with someone who speaks your ‘language’, makes talking about ‘moussaka’ easier, hehe.

Rica likewise was as fantastic. She lost a lot of weight! She’s turned into a vegetarian and she loves it. She says meat kinda makes you feel lethargic which can be a major problem if you’re in a morning show that’s why she had to turn absolutely to veggies.

smile, kuya kim! hehe

Anyway, I will recreate the dish I made  during the guesting (recipe by Chef Myrna Segismundo and great foodie, Tina Diaz) as soon as I get the ingredients back on my chopping board soon. Post it next time!
