Mommies need to be creative in serving meals for their families. Food fatigue is one of the problems happen to families if you usually serve the same dish or menu. Most of the time we need to prepare delicious and healthy home meals for our Family to make sure that we give the adequate amount of nutrition they need.
Gladly, I was invited at the launch event of a cookbook entitled “Healthy Choices, Delicious Result: Easy Recipes by Nancy Lumen”, the cookbook demonstrates how quick and easy preparing delicious and healthy home meals can be with the help of Philips Kitchen Appliances.

Philips is one of the known brand in kitchen Appliances and lighting materials here in the Philippines. Philips has partnered with renowned food writer, critic and media personality Nancy Reyes –Lumen for a new collection of recipes made especially for home.
In this cookbook there is a wide range of wholesome, healthy, delicious recipes personally prepared by Lumen. These include starters like Sushi Rice, entrees like Oil-less, Really Crispy Adobo Flakes, fixings like Lazy Girl’s Pad Thai; desserts like Queso de Bola Muffins; and drinks like Yakult-Strawberry Smoothie and Cucumber Ginger Mint Mojito.

As I browse the cookbook I was like in awe and super like to try all the recipes. It is really simple yet unique and unusual for my kids and my hubby. I will definitely do my best to serve this simple, unique and unusual dishes to them in order to make our dining experience at home more a memorable.
“Nancy Lumen has a well-deserved reputation for being a terrific cook, food writer, and critic, as well as an advocate of good health through eating,” says RJ Buenaventura, General Manager for Consumer Lifestyle at Philips Philippines. “For years, she’s helped home chefs take their cooking to the next level, all while promoting healthy, delicious home cuisine. Because our mission is to help people achieve a healthier and better life, teaming up with her thus makes perfect sense.”
“Philips” Consumer Lifestyle sector is all about helping people live healthier and better lives and a big part of that is being able to easily prepare nutritious homemade dishes for the family right” he added.

Featured throughout the cookbook are Philips Kitchen Appliances that may be used in the preparation of the recipes, such as the Philips Food Processor, the Philips Digital Airfryer and the Philips Electric Pressure Cooker and the Philips Juicer among others.
During the launch I personally witnessed how Chef Lumen used the Philips Kitchen Appliances. I would love to have them all to make cooking a lot easier and of course improve my cooking abilities. “These appliances are so simple to use, a first-timer could pick them up and get great-tasting meals from the get-go” says Reah Ronsayro, Business Development Manager fro Philips Domestic Appliances.
The Philips Food Processor for example is a versatile little machine that can be used for a wide variety of recipes, making short work of everything from cakes to gratin and salads with its diverse selection of inserts and attachments.
Meanwhile, the Philips Airfryer’s patented Rapid Air Technology lets home chefs prepare fried favourites with up to 80% less fat than conventional methods. In addition, the Philips Airfryer can be used for roasting, grilling and baking. Love to have that Philips Airfryer, who wouldn’t want to eat lechon, me I love it, so hopefully before end of this year I will have that. I will tell it to my husband, to invest on our kitchen appliances soon.

Home Chefs who want to get slow-cooked taste at a fast-food pace can turn to the Philips Electric Pressure Cooker, which features a highly efficient design that retains all the flavour and nutrients in food, while giving that right amount of tenderness that everyone loves.

The Philips’ Juicer on the other hand offers a compact extractor that guarantees maximum juice with minimum fuss, all in a safe, easy to use, child-friendly package.
“For Philips, technology has to be centered around meaningful human experience and the power of homemade food” explains Buenaventura. “Instead of designing technology for technology’s sake, we always try to deliver experiences tied to the social and emotional needs of our customers. We want to help bring about those important human moments: as steaming cup of coffee in the morning, a post workout smoothie between friends, or a hot , delicious meal at home with the kids after school. It is these moments that matter most after all”
Thank you so much Philips and Chef Nancy Lumen for the opportunity to witnessed the benefits of making home meals. You enlighten mo on what should I serve for my Family, that’s the big role as a Mommy of 2 kids and as a wife as well.

Get the extra moisture your skin needs with a refreshing wet shave from the PhilipsAquaTouch

 

 

“While a wet shave is traditionally done using a razor, a cutting-edge electric shaver can handle both wet and dry shaves,” says RJ Buenaventura, General Manager for Philips Consumer Lifestyle.

 

“At the same time, it saves you time and effort without compromising comfort and convenience.”

 

According to Pia Umayam—Business Development Manager for Philips Consumer Lifestyle, the rainy season is the perfect time for wet shaves, adding that a little extra moisture will go a long way in ensuring your skin feels fresh and smooth.

 

As opposed to a dry shave, a wet shave uses products—such as shaving gels, foams, and oils to provide extra moisture. While it may take a bit longer, wet shaves lead to much less skin irritation (especially during the rainy season).

 

Umayam narrates, “First, take a hot shower or wrap a hot, damp towel on your face. This softens the skin and allows your electric shaver to glide smoothly. Apply cream or foam then proceed to shaving circular patterns, while periodically rinsing the shaver under the tap to remove excess foam or gel.”

 

With the Philips AquaTouch wet and dry electric shaver, men can look crisp and clean while maintaining optimum skin comfort during the long, rainy days.

 

Your choice

 

The Philips AquaTouch is designed with the Aquatec Seal, allowing it to be fully immersed in water. With a watertight inner body, liquids cannot reach its electronic parts. This feature gives men the choice between comfortable dry shaves or refreshing wet shaves.

 

Umayam points out: “Remember, not one is better than the other. Wet shaves are just suggested for rainy days, whereas dry shaves are better suited for the less humid months of the year.”

 

The Philips AquaTouch is optimized to perform with gels and foams to enhance skin comfort. Its flexible shaving heads adjust easily to facial contours, allowing for a soft and smooth glide.

 

This electric shaver lifts hairs to give a comfortably closer shave, and it has precision blades that cut even the shortest hairs—a particularly useful feature for men with stubbles.

 

Easy maintenance

 

“The Philips AquaTouch is quite easy to maintain,” describes Umayam. “A QuickRinse system lets you clean it under the tap or even use it while you’re showering.”

 

The electric shaver also boasts optimum energy efficiency, as it comes with a powerful lithium-ion battery that maximizes the number of shaves per charge. Umayam remarks, “It can be fully charged in eight hours, so it’s always ready to go.”

 

To top it off, the AquaTouch is backed by a coveted two-year guarantee from Philips to ensure prolonged years of service.

 

Buenaventura finishes, “If you are looking for a shaving experience that is a cut above the rest, the Philips AquaTouch is the ideal choice for you. It is the perfect grooming companion throughout the year.”
