Cookbooks are <3

Without a doubt, one of the best Christmas gifts I have ever received!! Two of my must-watch men on TLC!

Jamie Oliver's take on the kitchen is something truly refreshing. It also helps that he's easy on the eyes and has that arrestingly boyish charm. I love his 15-minute meals and am behind his advocacy for reviving cooking & eating healthy meals. Ditto for him supporting their local food producers. Someday when I find the space, I'd love to recreate his herb garden, kitchen and maybe have a little backyard grill of my own :)

Although he seems a little more brooding and a little bit mysterious, I also enjoy watching Anthony Bourdain. I also have to give credit to his researchers and producers (basically everyone else who makes the show possible) of The Layover for all the incredible food joints they are able to showcase in Bourdain's 24-48 hours in a particular city. That's like The Amazing Race of foodies like me! I also feel happy when I see the immense pride of his hosts, sharing not only meals with him but also a little bit of their culture and history.

Thank you so much to Tita Ninang J & Tito Ninong R Manalaysay (& family) for this thoughtful and much treasured collection ☺️
Oh I do hope I'll be a better cook & home-baker by and by. It is really my dream to be able to whip up stupendously delicious & healthy farm-fresh meals for my family :) You know the ones who with just one look at the ingredients on hand are able to cook up a storm? That's what!
