COOK Magazine Marks 18th Year with a Slumber Ball
For the past 8 years, a year
isn’t complete for the advertisers, columnists and friends of COOK Magazine if
they won’t attend the annual thanksgiving party of the longest running and only
monthly culinary magazine in the country. This year’s celebration, “Slumber
Ball – A High Gloss Pajama Party”, was conceptualized by the COOK team to
provide our guests with a relaxed and fun-filled atmosphere. The theme reflects
the working environment at COOK - laid-back, filled with dreamy food and
recipes, and lots of fun and laughter. While publishing a monthly magazine
isn’t a walk in the park, 18 years in the industry is proof that when you do
what you love, it won’t ever feel like work.
This yearly celebration is
an opportunity to personally thank all of its advertisers for their continued
support of COOK through the years and the highlight of the evening is the
awarding of all the top advertisers. It
also gives the COOK team a chance to introduce ourselves, along with our
columnists and contributors – everyone involved in making COOK Magazine what it
is. The magazine has outlasted the trends, the ups and downs, even the shift to
other platforms. Proud of their achievement, COOK know that without all the
support from their advertisers and friends in the industry, COOK Magazine
wouldn’t exist.
As a simple way of showing
our gratitude, we’re sharing with you the very thing that has fuelled COOK
Magazine’s 18 years – the love for food. What else could we do better than feed
the ones we love?
We would like to thank House
Manila, for again providing us with an awesome venue. COOK’s very own
Editor-in-Chief, Chef Dino Datu has prepared something for our guests, courtesy
of Canadian Beef. We would also like to thank our caterers, our friends from
Chefwix Catering who prepared a spread of Buttered
Vegetables, Creamy Pesto Chicken and
Indonesian Pork BBQ Spareribs. Cowboy Grill prepared some Pork Sisig, Beef
Caldereta Adobo, Chicken Teriyaki, Steamed Veggies and Coffee Jelly for dessert.
Kitchen Seventy-One owned by Chef Jhic De Guzman Dimagiba prepared Beef
Caldereta, Thai Grilled Porkchop, Cajun Chicken and Baked Mac. Pedro ‘N Coi
presents their specialty Filipino dishes like Pansit, Pakbet, Sisig, Bistek,
Roast Chicken and their famous Pinoy street food, Tunog Kalye (fish ball).
Since no celebration is complete without lechon, no less than the famous crispy
lechon from Lydia’s Lechon is present. For sweet endings, there’s the Cheese
Bar, Inutak, Assorted Kakanin, Pastillas Pops, Suman Cake, Pastillas Cake and
Latik Fondue served by Aging’s Food Delight and delectable desserts from
Sweetilicious Homemade Goodies by Chef Jojo Cuesta-Javier. Our friends
