Here's one great gift idea for the holidays! My friends, Chefs Angelo Comsti and Aileen Anastacio , came up with this quick and easy cookbook called Home-Made for the Holidays that features 60 Christmas treats that you can enjoy in your own home or to be given out as gifts to your loved ones. They have easy recipes on how to make caramel popcorns, gingerbread cookies and step-by-step guide on how to make potluck-perfect dishes like a caviar pie or even a White Chocolate Cheesecake! I'm so proud of both Angelo and Aileen as they finally have their very own book! Both are contributors of Yummy Magazine while Angelo Comsti used to be Yummy's former food editor (and my very popular cooking demo chef) while Chef Aileen is the talented lady behind Goodies and Sweets. Home-Made for the Holidays is available in all National Bookstore outlets for only Php. 895 !! Buy your copy now! :)

I guess it's no secret now that I am a huge fan of Yummy Magazine . This is also one of the main reasons why I am where I am right now. Every month, I slowly read every single section, browsing through each and every recipe and earmarking the ones that I will be trying over the weekend. As much as I have accepted the fact that I have a brighter future as a chef that as a baker, I can't help but try my luck every time I read Chef Aileen's column in the magazine. Just imagine how excited and starstrucked I was one Wednesday afternoon as I was tasked to interview her for Spot.ph .
