Goody goody kefir and I gotcha kombucha! A talk on real energising refreshment – 3 September, Saturday from 2pm to 5pm

Real energising refreshment comes from getting nourishment from your beverage and not just sugar, flavourings and colourings.

Kefir and kombucha are two beverages with ancient origins that have withstood the test of time as they have potent health benefits – almost too good to be true for a lot of people but even more people from all over the world attest to its curative powers.  And with talented kefir and kombucha brewers Marjoree “Jeren” Cabral of Goody Kefir and Brent Metken of Planet Health Kombucha, these otherwise obscure beverages are now fast gaining popularity amongst health buffs and other people in the Metropolis.

Lifetime Lifestyle Change! A practical guide to detoxification – 17 September, Saturday 2pm to 5pm

Change usually happens when a significant event whether positive or negative happens in one’s life.  In the case of entrepreneur-journalist Zonito Torevillas-Tamase, a health crisis spanning several years while she was working in the corporate world encouraged her to shift priorities and turned inwards into herself.

After being given so much medication for high blood pressure and other ailments, she did a lot of self study, attended training, and conducted research regarding the curative powers of detoxification.  Years later, she’s free from having to take pharmaceutical drugs and has made it her advocacy to teach what she’s discovered to more people.

Zonito is also a pioneer proponent of malunggay (moringa) use in the Philippines and has developed many tasty food items from this super food.

Her practical hands-on workshop includes an introduction to detoxification, its health benefits, discussion on materials and recommended take-home eating plan to maximise its effect. 

Aside from physical detoxification, Zonito will also touch on other aspects of life balance such as stress management, relationships and spirituality.

The morning and afternoon session can only accommodate up to ten persons as each participant will undergo a guided enema procedure.  Participation is P2,500 per person with a practical take-home guide to continue the regimen.

S.A.D. Becomes Happy! On 19 November

The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) has been the major cause of a lot of diseases prevalent today.  Burgers and fries, fast fried food, ice cream and other dairy-based products heavily processed with refined sugars have caused not just physical illnesses but imbalances in the emotional lives of many people.

      The story begins with the establishment of the three different worlds apart, bound to meet for an adventure like no other – the humble family-oriented story of ENTENG KABISOTE (VIC SOTTO), a low-profile technician married to the beautiful Fairy Princess of Encantasia, FAYE (GWEN ZAMORA); the battles of the AGIMAT (RAMON “BONG” REVILLA, JR.), the brave village Warrior Hero of Amuleto; and the high tech-yuppie Kingdom of Diwatara ruled by Princess ANGELINA KALINISAN-ORTEZA (JUDY ANN SANTOS), also known in the human world as “AKO,” where she leads an environmental advocacy organization.

From the initial instalment “Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote” in 2010, the friendship and partnership of Enteng and Agimat continues.

The fun levels up as Aiza brings Angelina and her comic modern Fairy sidekicks Pink Kapre CHE (John Lapus), Winged Horse SOL (Yassi Pressman) and Computer-wiz Dwarf CHICHAY (Ryzza Mae Dizon), into the lives of the Kabisote’s and the Amuleto couple.

Cook Magazine Celebrates Its 12 Years Of Sharing The Good Life!

     Cook Magazine began in 2000 to recognize the huge difference between restaurant food and home cooked food. It was designed & written for the millions of Filipinos who are fanatic about home cooking by hobbyists and foodies superior including articles and recipes made for and by food lovers.

In the past, the magazine had been covering artisan foods from meals to snacks, beverages, cheeses, condiments, meat and seafood categories, perhaps the biggest bulk of the selections have been sweets—fine candy, artisan chocolates, cookies, brownies and desserts.
 

In reply to the shifting market and consumer needs, the new COOK Content looks at the future of food and its role in pop culture. Food editor Chef Danny De la Cuesta gathers a handful of food visionaries, industry practitioners, celebrity chefs for great food exchange in all the magazine’s 2013 issues. In the 88 pages, it will discuss the newest and best products, food recommendations, reviews, how-to’s, reference articles, culinary destinations, product recipes or go-to source of consumer information in the dynamic food category. It will also include artisanal and small-production consumer items that readers might not have discovered on their own plus information on how to use them to make everyday dining and entertaining easier and more exciting.
 

 

Cook will make a lot of editorial on mass-produced brands, food service and food festivals, widening its reach to industry professionals because it promises to be the only consumer publication that will review best brands of foods, restaurants and beverages in every category.
 

The management & staff of COOK Magazine hosted an early holiday bash to thank their advertisers, friends, partners and all those who rallied behind the magazine this year.
 

 

The December issue that will hit stands in the first week of December 2012, features Katrina Ponce Enrile as the cover image- a fashion influencer and a culinary entrepreneur. She describes Cook Magazine as "an institution and a community for so many people that it created a new category- homecooks- when it launched and has remained the highest-selling cookery title in its entire market life.”

 

The event also took the opportunity to make public the New Look and Conceptual Direction of the Magazine that will be offering consumers an ever more diverse way of accessing its brand, in print through the magazine, and bookazines, online through the website and mobile and face-to-face through our Food Events.

 

Today COOK is a market leading-food magazine, selling 83,500 copies a month. Each issue is packed with over 44 recipes for everyday meals, easy entertaining and dishes from food experts. The Cook magazine cookery team tests every recipe published. The magazine is available at all National Bookstore, PowerBooks, Booksales, 7-11 outlets, Mini-stops and other leading outlets nationwide.

Catch The Village People Live At SMX Convention Center This NOv 17!

      For many decades now, The Village People has been entertainig us with their groovy kind of dance music. A  group that formed in the United States in 1977, well known for their on-stage costumes depicting American cultural stereotypes, as well as their catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics.

The Village People’s iconic stature has created very influential impact on pop cultures all over the world. If you put together images of a police officer, a construction worker, a big biker, a soldier, a native American, and a cowboy, nothing ever comes to mind but The Village People. From Halloween to retro and disco-themed parties, chances are you’ll find a gang dressed up as The Village People.

The Village People dishes out hit after hit after hit. “Go West”, “In the Navy”, Milkshake”, “I Am What I Am”, and “Can’t Stop The Music”, are just some of their biggest hits that shook the world and triggered as a disco revolution, hailing them as ‘Kings of Disco’. They ruled over the 70s until some parts of the 80s. Their careers mellowed down at the onset of the new wave era. Yet, their influence on music, pop culture, live performances have never waned. They’ve continued touring the world, guesting in television shows, and some members pursuing solo projects. The Village People’s characters, looks, may find traces or references of Village People characters in the video game Grand Theft Auto, tv shows like The Muppets, The Simpsons, Married With Children, That 70s Show, and movies like Wayne’s World. As if these were not enough, their albums, especially those Greatest Hits and Best Of compilations, are still raking in sales.. Thus, it comes no surprise that they have sold over 100 million records (and still counting) worldwide. Their Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, which was awarded to them in September 2008, is indeed well-deserved.
