This Kitchen Masterclass also serves as a platform of encouragement for everyone who is passionate about cooking, whose cooking abilities may want to be further expanded, or who simply wants to enjoy the moments created by the cooking experience.  So to make this holiday masterclass extra special, Mega Prime widened its list of invitees to include not just moms, but anyone and everyone who had a love for great cooking. This was evident in the excitement and buzz among in-person and online attendees.

The event started with a Q&A with the media, followed by brand talks and Marian’s partnership renewal. After this, it was time for Marian and Hazel Cheffy to take everyone through another learning experience.

“As a trusted ally of Filipino kitchen enthusiasts, Mega Prime always endeavors to bring new cooking ideas and tips to all those who love cooking, especially during the holidays. This year, we expect Filipinos to resume once again their holiday celebration which means a lot more cooking for the happy reunions ahead. “We hope that through the Prime Kitchen Masterclass, our cooks’ families will have more delicious dishes this Christmas.” ~Marvin Tiu Lim, Chief Growth and Development Officer of MPFI

To cap off the festivities was a grand raffle. These holiday celebrations will undoubtedly be enjoyed by attendees with their take-home Mega Prime goodies!

“We believe that enjoying food is one of the best bonding moments for a family. During mealtimes, families get to share personal and even professional updates about themselves, talk about their plans, and just have a good talk in general. The food itself can be a topic, and what best way to serve delicious meals than to use the wide array of Mega Prime products to level up your dishes” ~Chris Alexy Fernandez, Mega Prime Group Product Manager

“Cooking Ina” Chef Hazel

The Pro Chef Gerick Manalo

To help Filipino mothers level up their cooking skills, Mega Prime held its first-ever Prime Mom Club: Kitchen Masterclass event last Saturday, May 28 with “Cooking Ina” Chef Hazel and The Pro Chef Gerick Manalo. The Mets Place in Makati was abuzz with excitement as eager moms checked out the colorful mini booths overflowing with everyone’s favorite Mega products. More moms joined the event virtually.

Corn Chowder with Pan-Seared Chicken

Chef Hazel introduced moms to Kusina Speak, a super interesting session that covered the basics of cooking, sauce making, and plating. The segment helped moms understand terms that will make them even better cooks – cooking terms such as searing, pan frying, saute, deep frying, and the like.  This was followed by “Ready, Set, Salang,” where Chef Hazel skillfully applied the cooking terms into an actual dish–Corn Chowder with Pan-Seared Chicken.

Herb & Garlic-Crusted Salmon with Truffle Bechamel Sauce

Adding to the enthusiasm of the audience, Chef Gerick then wowed the moms with more advanced cooking techniques and his cooking demo of a mouth-watering Herb & Garlic-Crusted Salmon with Truffle Bechamel Sauce – a tasty and healthy dish that he then plated to perfection.

For added fun and challenge, the moms were grouped into teams of 10, each team competing with one another for the best replication of Chef Hazel’s and Chef Gerick’s dishes. The chefs, of course, served as the judges. Quality, brand-new kitchenware was awarded to the members of the winning teams.

Also virtually present at the event was Prime Mom Club brand ambassador Marian Rivera who gamely welcomed the moms with some inspirational words that added to the positive vibe of the event. 

 

“Mega Prime is always committed to bringing healthy meals to Filipinos with our high-quality, affordable products. We hope to have an even bigger community of Prime Moms in the near future.” ~Marvin Tiu Lim, Chief Growth and Development Officer
