yummy magazine
Good news for fellow foodies!
I was blog-hopping one day when I saw an image ad that said “Click here for a yummy treat”. I clicked on it and was brought to the website for Yummy Magazine.
This made me really excited, for two reasons:
1. As most of you know, I love eating and cooking good food. So it was really exciting for me to see a food and cooking magazine tailored to the Filipino palate. What’s more, it’s published by the same company that publishes Good Housekeeping Philippines and Candy, among others…I used to work in the online publishing side of Summit many years ago, and I know for a fact that those magazines are made with care and style.
2. Becky Kho, who is the editor in chief of Yummy, has fabulous taste! Becky used to be the EIC of Good Housekeeping before going on a stint with a magazine in Singapore, but it looks like she’s back in the Philippines with a brand-new “baby”.
I quickly went through the “free sampler” of Yummy online, and before I got to the end, I was absolutely drooling! It has mouthwatering recipes and photos for such dishes as pineapple fried rice, white adobo, honey ginger chicken, and seafood tomato soup, among others. And what’s great is that the products they feature are those that can be found in most grocery stores in the Philippines.
The magazine is already out in bookstores and magazine stands this March. At the risk of sounding like I’m being paid to do this, which I’m not, do grab a copy if you’re in the Philippines. Better yet, grab two copies, so you can stash the other one for me.
Happy cookin’ and eatin’!

I am definitely in love with food, especially yummy one

The problem is I don’t know how to cook!
The picture is enough to make me drool here
I must try to get someone to teach me to cook all these
