I know how to cook, but I must admit that I am not a good cook. The movie Ratatouille somehow inspired me to cook unique dishes for my family. I am challenged to cook at home whenever my mom goes to United States. Furthermore, I was also challenged to be more creative with my dishes since I want my son to eat a lot.
I also like watching cooking contests on TV. My favorites are Hell's Kitchen, Masterchef, and Late Nite Chef Fight. Among all the three reality show that I mentioned, Masterchef is the one giving great career opportunities to home cooks. The show is somehow inspiring that even if a person is just a home cook, he/she can have a promising career in cooking.
Solane,
a leading brand of cooking gas, invites moms to take the exciting Cuisinera Challenge: 2015 Mommy Edition! Be part of the challenge that proves
great Filipino family food is not solely found in restaurants offered by chefs
but is authentically found at home.
