The kitchen is my kingdom.
I love to cook, there’s no doubt about it. I did not go to a culinary school, but we
grew up watching cooking shows like Del Monte Kitchenomics on TV. Now on its 30th year of sharing
easy-to-prepare, budget-friendly, and family-approved recipes, Del Monte
Kitchenomics launches another season of its cooking show. This season brings to your TV screens the new
kitchen duo of actress Carla Abellana and multi-awarded pastry chef Jackie
Ang-Po. This tandem will give you
exciting new recipes from the Del Monte test kitchens. The show, which premieres on February 19, 2014, will also feature the Most Requested
Recipes of Del Monte Kitchenomics Club members.
My pantry is never without products from Del Monte – from our
bottle of tomato catsup to our fruit juices and sauces. It’s hard to pick a favorite as every single
product adds its distinct flavor to the food that we eat. Moms like me can learn new ways of using
these different products from the Del Monte Kitchenomics cooking show. You can expect that your own kitchen dilemmas
as a home cook will be banished with the recipes and tips from Carla and Chef Jackie.
Del Monte held a Blogger’s Conference on the eve of the show’s
premiere episode. I attended the Conference
for my sister’s blog totteringmama.com.
I got to interact with fellow bloggers as well as hear all about this
exciting new cooking show from the hosts and Del Monte executives themselves. Del Monte’s senior product manager Susie
Aquino was there to introduce the new season and to share with us what this
cooking show has to offer. The Question
and Answer session that followed afterwards was short and sweet, with the panelists
addressing the questions with candor and simplicity.
There’s nothing complicated about cooking with Del Monte
Kitchenomics – no special skills required, no special equipment or utensils
necessary. The recipes have been tested
and rated to ensure that they can be prepared by the ordinary cook in any
kitchen. One of the great things about
Kitchenomics recipes is the costing. The
test kitchen team conducts a pricing research on the ingredients used for each
recipe to provide a close-enough estimate of the total cost to prepare the
meal. This is ideal for budget-conscious
moms as they can conveniently work on their budget and meal plans.
Another great thing about Kitchenomics recipes is the fact
that they are healthy. Del Monte
products contain nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to ensure that your family
gets the nourishment that they need. Since
the recipes are also easy to prepare, you don’t have to toil for hours in the
kitchen to serve delicious healthy meals that your family will love. This makes mealtimes more enjoyable and
memorable for the entire family. Which
reminds me, it’s time to start dinner preparations. I just have to try that Del Monte Red
Sinigang that everybody at the Conference was talking about. It’s a good thing I always have a couple of pouches of Del Monte Tomato Sauce in my pantry.
