“It’s about time that men should be in the kitchen”, that will be my motto from now on. Well, because my hubby can’t cook that much. When I am going to ask my kids what can Daddy cook for them, they always say “Hotdog” though in a creative way in fairness to Daddy Marco.
We need to teach more our Dear Daddy of some techniques and tips on how to cook delicious foods especially for our kids. Gladly that there will be a show entitled “Home Foodie” that I can let my hubby watch, for him to learn and be confident enough to cook dishes.
Home Foodie is all about inspiring home cooks to reinvent favourites and recreate dishes from food discoveries using San Miguel Purefoods Products.
Thus, Home Foodie dishes are “masarap, masustansya at kayang kaya”. Yes, I experienced it during the launch of Home Foodie. Here are some of the foods during the Launch.







Home Foodie will not only appeal to women but also to men, like my hubby. It also wants men to cook; to be active in the kitchen; hence, Drew Arellano is the perfect host for the show. He has wide mass appeal, is non-alienating and is a true blue foodie. Drew can inspire and encourage men to enjoy food by spending time in his kitchen.
